Shanghai Pediatric Cataract Study

September 25, 2024 updated by: Evidence Based Cataract Study Group

Visual Outcome Evaluation and Genetic Analysis: Shanghai Pediatric Cataract Study

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.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Congenital cataract group
Cataract patients diagnosed with congenital cataract.
1)Pediatric cataract patients with intraocular lens implantation and those without intraocular lens implantation;2)Traumatic cataract patients with intraocular lens implantation and those without intraocular lens implantation
Traumatic cataract group
Cataract patients diagnosed with traumatic cataract.
1)Pediatric cataract patients with intraocular lens implantation and those without intraocular lens implantation;2)Traumatic cataract patients with intraocular lens implantation and those without intraocular lens implantation

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Differences in the visual outcomes of pediatric cataract patients.
Time Frame: 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.
Follow-up until ten years after surgery.
Genetic diversity based on biospecimen samples of pediatric cataract patients.
Time Frame: 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.
Analyzed within six months after surgery.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Differences in the clinical phenotypes of pediatric cataract patients.
Time Frame: 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.
Evaluated before receiving the cataract surgery.
