“…Visual recovery includes IOL, glasses, and contact lenses. In children, glasses still have a significant role because the power of an IOL is often inaccurate for the current refractive error; as a result, frequent adjustments to the child's refractive error are necessary with glasses [53]. In the case of unilateral cataracts, it is a challenge to compensate for postoperative aphakia with an ocular correction due to the phenomenon of anisometropia -the condition where the eyes have a different refractive power.…”

“…In the majority of cases of unilateral cataracts, and occasionally in cases of poorer vision in one eye in bilateral cataracts, a temporary patch over the stronger eye is employed. Occlusion therapy attempts to enhance vision in the weaker eye by forcing the brain to recognize the visual signals from that eye, which it may have previously ignored [53,55,56].…”

Congenital cataracts are clouding of the crystalline lens inside the eye, which is present at birth and leads to a decrease in vision. It is one of the three leading causes of blindness in children, responsible for up to 27.6% of cases. The etiology of congenital cataracts varies. The main causes include heredity, chromosomal aberrations, metabolic diseases, and intrauterine infections. Early diagnosis and treatment of congenital cataracts are essential in the prevention of irreversible loss of vision. The red reflex test is an excellent tool in the screening of congenital cataracts and should be performed on each newborn. Congenital cataract therapy differs from adult cataract therapy, being based primarily on early surgical intervention. Long-term post-operative rehabilitation is also an important part of care.
