PURPOSE: To study the long-term outcome of @entity231 surgery with primary intraocular lens (IOL) in @entity1 <2 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of bilateral cases that were operated before 2 years age for congenital @entity231 . All underwent primary posterior capsulotomy with anterior vitrectomy and primary @entity2790 . Only those with a follow-up of at least 8 years were evaluated. RESULTS: Twenty-six eyes of 13 @entity1 with bilateral @entity231 met the inclusion criteria. Average age at surgery was 14.15 months with a mean follow-up of 102 months. Average preoperative @entity3656 ( @entity3656 ) was 19.93 mm. There was a refractive shift from a mean spherical equivalent of 1.64 D at 2 weeks after surgery to -1.42 D measured at last follow-up. Twenty-four eyes out of 26 (92%) achieved final visual acuity (VA) of 6/18 or more at last follow-up with 19/26 (73%) having acuity of 6/12 or greater. Raised intraocular pressure was documented in one eye only. Average @entity3656 recorded at last follow-up was 22.21 mm. CONCLUSION: Primary @entity2790 in @entity1 <2 years is a safe surgical procedure with excellent long-term results. The myopic shift is well-controlled and final VA achieved is reasonably good.
