Purpose: We aim to describe the clinical profile and visual outcome of paediatric patients who underwent cataract surgery in a tertiary ophthalmology referral centre in West Malaysia from 2013 to 2018. Methods: This is a retrospective review of all paediatric patients who underwent cataract surgery in our centre from 2013-2018. Results: A total of 35 eyes from 23 patients were included. There were 10 (43.5%) female and 13 (56.5%) male patients. Twelve patients (24 eyes) had bilateral cataract while 11 patients had unilateral cataract. Sixteen (45.7%) eyes had congenital cataract, followed by ectopia lentis (n=10, 28.6%), traumatic cataract (n=8, 22.9%) and steroid induced cataract (n=1, 2.8%). Three types of intraocular lens (IOL) were implanted: which were posterior chamber IOL (n=22, 62.9%), iris claw IOL (n=12, 34.3%) and scleral-fixated IOL (n=1, 2.8%). Majority of eyes (n=28, 80%) had primary IOL implantation. Twenty-five (71.4%) eyes achieved best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 6/12 and better at 6 months post-IOL implantation. There was no statistically significant difference in the BCVA at 6 months post-IOL implantation among the different cataract aetiology, primary or secondary IOL implantation and types of IOL implant. Eight (22.9%) eyes developed post-operative complications, which included posterior capsular opacification (PCO) (n=6, 17.1%), IOL decentration (n=4, 11.4%) and glaucoma (n=1, 2.8%). Nineteen (82.6%) patients required glasses for visual rehabilitation. Conclusion: Majority of the paediatric cataract patients achieved BCVA of 6/12 or better at 6 months post-IOL implantation. The visual outcome among the different cataract aetiology, primary or secondary IOL implantation and types of IOL implanted were similar. PCO was the most common post-operative complication.
