Strabismus is more common in developmental cataracts and can impact vision, particularly in unilateral cases. However, intraocular lens implants offer good visual outcomes post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology
  • Strabismus Research

Background:

  • Developmental cataract is a significant cause of visual impairment in children.
  • Strabismus, or eye misalignment, is a known complication that can affect visual development.
  • Understanding the relationship between cataract, strabismus, and visual acuity is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the prevalence of strabismus in pediatric patients with developmental cataract after cataract surgery (pseudophakia).
  • To assess the influence of strabismus on visual acuity in these patients.
  • To identify factors associated with strabismus in developmental cataract.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 113 patients with developmental cataract (1990-2005).

  • Long-term follow-up (mean 62 months) assessing strabismus and visual acuity before and after cataract extraction.
  • Statistical analysis (t-test, Chi-square, Fisher exact) of factors including age, sex, laterality, and cataract characteristics.

    • Main Results:

    • Strabismus was present in 34% of patients before surgery.
    • Laterality of cataract was statistically associated with strabismus onset.
    • Cataract density correlated with poor vision; strabismic patients had non-significantly lower visual acuity.

    Conclusions:

    • Developmental cataract is associated with a higher incidence of strabismus compared to the general population.
    • Strabismus can negatively impact visual acuity, especially in unilateral and total cataracts.
    • Intraocular lens implantation following cataract surgery leads to satisfactory visual rehabilitation.
