PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term impact of bilateral @entity231 surgery on @entity260 , influence of age at surgery on the pattern of axial growth and @entity2840 ( @entity2840 ), and visual and orthoptic assessment in microphthalmic eyes. SETTING: Iladevi @entity231 and IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India. DESIGN: Prospective longitudinal study. METHODS: This study assessed @entity1 with microphthalmos who had bilateral congenital @entity231 surgery. Microphthalmos was defined as an eye that has an @entity3656 ( @entity3656 ) that was 2 standard deviations smaller than what is normally expected at that age. All eyes were left aphakic. One of the 2 eyes was randomly selected for analysis. @entity260 , @entity3656 , @entity2840 , and visual acuity were documented. RESULTS: This study included 72 eys of 36 @entity1 . The mean age of the @entity1 was 4.8 months    6.2 (SD) (range 0.5 to 15 months). @entity260 included secondary @entity726 (11/36, 30.6%), @entity227 (4/36, 11.1%), and posterior synechiae (10/36, 27.8%). A significant rate of change was observed in axial growth up to 4 years and in @entity2840 up to 3 years postoperatively. When age at the time of surgery was correlated with the profile of the rate of change in @entity3656 and @entity2840 at 1 month and 1, 2, and 4 years, statistically significant differences in @entity3656 and @entity2840 at all timepoints were found. @entity1018 after surgery occurred in 2 eyes. CONCLUSION: After early surgical intervention, an acceptable rate of serious @entity260 and good visual outcomes were obtained in microphthalmic eyes.
