Shanghai Pediatric Cataract Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term visual outcome of the cataract surgery using a large-scale and comprehensive database of pediatric cataract participants, including congenital and traumatic cataract. The investigators will further investigate into the various genetic and environmental factors that may contribute to the pathogenesis of pediatric cataract.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Differences in the visual outcomes of pediatric cataract patients. [Follow-up until ten years after surgery.]
Visual outcomes are evaluated including visual acuity with or without correction, refractive changes, intraocular pressure, fundus function, fixation type, vision development, growth of axial length, contrast sensitivity and other visual outcome measurements.
- Genetic diversity based on biospecimen samples of pediatric cataract patients. [Analyzed within six months after surgery.]
Sequencing of genes (including exons, promoters, 5' UTR and 3' UTR sequences) on a large scale to intensively investigate into the sites and functions of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) correlated with clinical features of congenital cataract patients, compared to traumatic cataract patients.Samples of blood, aqueous humor, anterior capsular membranes and lens tissues were applied for the genetic analysis.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Differences in the clinical phenotypes of pediatric cataract patients. [Evaluated before receiving the cataract surgery.]
Cataract type and severity of ametropic cataract patients are evaluated and images are captured before receiving the cataract surgery.
