Endothelial cell loss 10.5 years after iris-fixated IOL implantation for traumatic cataract was substantial and related to the length of the corneal scar of the original trauma. In children operated on for congenital cataract, no difference was found in CECD in the operated and unoperated eyes 9.5 years after Artisan aphakia IOL implantation.

Children with fetal brain sparing do not demonstrate a different development of their visual functioning at late school age. However, an abnormal cerebral ultrasound in the neonatal period is associated with impaired visual function in later life.

The mean corneal ECD after more then 10 years of follow-up was comparable to the mean normal ECD for this age group reported in the literature. The high standard deviation of the mean ECD in the current study highlights the importance of prospective studies on the ECD after iris-fixated aphakic IOL implantation in young patients.
