title: The incidence of after cataract following three different types of cataract surgery in children: a meta-analysis.
abstract: Via meta-analysis, we assessed the effect of pediatric cataract surgery with posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (PCCC) with or without anterior vitrectomy (AV) on the incidence of after cataract. Group 1 consisted of pediatric cataract surgery with or without PCCC. Group 2 consisted of pediatric cataract surgery with PCCC with or without AV. The pooled odds ratio of after cataract in Group 1 was 0.21; in Group 2 it was 0.13. Pediatric cataract surgery with PCCC is superior to single cataract surgery in preventing the incidence of after cataract.
