TLDR
Regular follow-up of all children with anterior cataracts is recommended until a secure assessment of vision can be made, as early ophthalmological examination did not always allow us to forecast later visual disability.About:

Long-term Visual Results and Complications in Children with Aphakia: A Function of Cataract Type
TL;DR: It is shown that an important determinant of long-term outcome and complications in aphakic children is cataract type, which was more closely linked to the type of cataracts than to other variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
The morphology and natural history of childhood cataracts.
TL;DR: The morphology of congenital cataract reflects a combination of the timing and nature of the cause, the anatomy of the lens including its capsule, its development, and changes that take place with time.

Clinical and genetic heterogeneity in autosomal dominant cataract
Alexander Ionides,Peter J. Francis,Vanita Berry,Donna S. Mackay,Shomi S. Bhattacharya,Alan Shiels,Anthony T. Moore +6 more
TL;DR: Although there is considerable clinical heterogeneity in ADC, the phenotype is usually consistent within families and specific cataract phenotypes appear to be associated with mutations at more than one chromosome locus.

The Doyne Lecture. Congenital cataract: the history, the nature and the practice
TL;DR: The 75th Doyne Lecture is given by a British paediatric ophthalmologist on congenital cataract, which is still the major preventable cause of lifelong visual handicap, and there are a number of controversial areas which have not yet been resolved.

Neonatal cataract: aetiology, pathogenesis and management.
I C Lloyd,Mark Goss-Sampson,Brett G. Jeffrey,Anthony Kriss,Isabelle Russell-Eggitt,David Taylor +5 more
TL;DR: Post-operative management is reviewed and the different techniques available for aphakic correction are compared, and the VEP changes found in patients with monocular cataract are described.

Unilateral cataracts in children
TL;DR: While improved visual acuity is the most important objective of unilateral cataract surgery in children, other benefits such as a cleared optical axis often make such surgery desirable, even when the prospect for visual recovery is poor.

Developmental cataracts: results of surgical treatment in one hundred and thirty-one cases
TL;DR: The results of surgical treatment in 131 cases of developmental cataracts at the ophthalmic clinic of University Hospital between the years 1925 and 1942 are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pattern visual evoked potentials: their use in pediatric ophthalmology.
TL;DR: The purpose of this chapter has been to demonstrate that the VEP can be used as an objective measure of visual function in infants and young children and provides the clinician with a quantifiable index of visual impairment, and indeed may be useful in predicting a reduction of subjective visual acuity before it is found on clinical examination.

Anterior polar cataracts associated with bilateral retinoblastoma.
TL;DR: A 13-month-old girl has bilateral congenital cataracts associated with anterior polar cataract and multiple tumors were observed in the fundus of the left eye, and were successfully treated by external beam irradiation.
