Binocular Fusion and Stereopsis Associated With Early Surgery for Monocular Congenital Cataracts

Congenital cataract extraction with primary aphakia and secondary intraocular lens implantation in the ciliary sulcus

“…This was confirmed in other studies 6,[9][10][11][12] in which visual acuity was 20/40 or better when surgery was performed before the 17th week of life. However, Birch et al 12 excluded cases of congenital unilateral cataract associated with ocular or nonocular disorders that would lead to a poor prognosis.…”

Long-Term Visual Function Outcomes of Congenital Cataract Surgery with Intraocular Lens Implantation in Children under 5 Years of Age

“…This may represent late presentation or slow postoperative visual rehabilitation in this series. This finding is in agreement with Garza-Reyes et al (12) and Wright et al (13), who found poor visual acuity in children with nystagmus.…”

Factors associated with stereopsis and a good visual acuity outcome among children in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study

“…Wright et al 10 used a similar patching regimen and reported that 3 of 13 (23%) children developed stereopsis. The IATS patching protocol was similar to the patching regimen used by Greg and Parks 9 and Greg et al 10 However, our findings suggest that this patching regimen likely exceeds the patching needed to achieve good vision and it may interfere with the development of stereopsis. While Greg and Parks 9 used a progressive patching regimen until age 8 months, patching was maintained at 8 h per day until age 2 years and then increased to 10 h per day until age 3 years, after which it was tapered to 8 h per day to age 5 years and then 6 h per day to 8 years.…”
