Aim To investigate changes in central corneal thickness (CCT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in children after congenital cataract surgery, as well as risk factors associated with these changes. Methods 37 eyes of 26 children with congenital cataract undergoing surgery were prospectively recruited....
