Pediatric Cataract Surgery Outcomes Registry

Overview

About this study

This study is being done to learn about cataract surgery in children. The study involves the collection of information about children who have had cataract surgery. This information will include when the child developed cataract, how the cataract has been treated, problems that may have occurred related to surgery, and whether anyone else in the family has had a cataract. Doctors throughout the United States and possibly other parts of the world are taking part in the study. We hope that gathering the information from many children we can improve the care of children with cataracts.
