Significant Difference

The Infant Aphakia Treatment Study was a randomized, controlled clinical trial in children, between the age of 28 days and 210 days at the time of surgery, with a visually significant congenital cataract (≥3 mm central opacity) in one eye, to determine whether immediate intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was superior to contact lens for the correction of aphakia after cataract surgery. The study found that there was no statistically significant difference in grating visual acuity at 1 year of age between the IOL and contact lens groups; however, additional intraocular operations were performed more frequently in the IOL group. The authors recommended leaving the eye aphakic and correcting the aphakia with a contact lens. IOL implantation should be reserved for infants who are unable to tolerate contact lenses.
