20242 citationsOpen accessUniversity of Malawi

Abstract

This review reports that there is a lower proportion of eyes with good outcomes after undergoing paediatric cataract surgery in sub-Saharan Africa than in middle- and high-income countries. Furthermore, this review states that there is a high proportion of patients lost to follow-up and suboptimal refractive correction and amblyopia treatment after paediatric cataract surgery.
