Complex Refractive Errors in Pediatric Patients: Cause, Management, and Criteria for Success

Abstract

The results presented here suggest that patients with unilateral aphakia attributable to congenital cataract have the most consistent contact lens wear, followed by patients with unilateral aphakia attributable to trauma. Patients with bilateral aphakia were more likely to have changed to spectacle lens wear. Patients wearing contact lenses at the most recent follow-up examination were more likely to have good visual acuity.
