What is it about?
After cataract surgery and primary intraocular lens implantation in congenital cataracts, the eye of the child continues to grow (myopic shift), we believed that smaller eyes could grow more (hence a greater myopic shift).

Why is it important?
We are looking for factors that are related to greater myopic shift, in children with primary intraocular lens implantation after cataract surgery, we believed that maybe smaller eyes could grow more and had a greater myopic shift.
Perspectives
In bilateral cataracts, a tendency to greater myopic shift with smaller axial lengths was found; hence, this variable should be investigated more in this group. Unilateral cataracts had a greater myopic shift over 3 years.
