Overview

Randomized trial evaluates retinal structure and vascular differences in children post-cataract surgery, suggesting implications for visual rehabilitation.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the retinal vascular network and RNFL thickness in children who have undergone congenital cataract surgery compared to controls.
  • Participants included 18 pseudophakic children and 17 age-matched controls.
  • Spectral-domain OCT and OCTA were used for imaging and analysis.
  • Generalized estimating equations adjusted for factors like age and axial length were employed.
  • Macular mean vessel diameter was significantly higher in pseudophakic eyes (β = 11.16 µm; p = 0.003).
  • Macular mean tortuosity was also greater in pseudophakic eyes (β = 0.032; p = 0.001).
  • Temporal RNFL thickness was significantly increased in pseudophakic eyes (β = 13.37 µm; p = 0.007).
