Abstract

We studied the myopic shift and anisometropia at 10.6 (+/−0.3) years of age in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study. We found myopic shift continues in the operated eye from 5-10.5 years at a lower rate than that prior to age five years while anisometropia increases proportionally.

Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00212134.
