Congenital cataract is a common cause of childhood low vi-sion or blindness worldwide..Early surgery should be per-formed in sensitive vision development period to avoid vision deprivation in cases of strabismus and nystagmus develop-ment. Postoperative recovery of visual function is of great sig-nificance for these patients and should include proper postop-erative aphakia correction by the application of a contact lens and secondary implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL). Pa-tients should receive amblyopic training after surgery to im-prove their postoperative visual acuity..Although recent ad-vances in surgery techniques and materials have brought better postoperative visual acuity and less complications , a few post-operative complications can still hamper vision condition and vision development,.including posterior capsule opacification and secondary glaucoma. Surgery in early infancy are risk fac-tors for these two complications..Life-long follow-up is essen-tial for these patients..Further study will continue to address the surgery timing issue and methods that prevent postopera-tive complications.
