To compare the incidence of glaucoma-related adverse events of in-the-bag versus ciliary-sulcus-fixed secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in pediatric aphakia
Treatment of pediatric cataract, one of the leading causes of childhood blindness globally, remains challenging because of extremely high incidence of glaucoma-related adverse events (AEs) after IOL implantation. The investigators aim to compare the incidence of glaucoma-related AEs of in-the-bag versus ciliary-sulcus-fixed secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in pediatric aphakia.
