Zusammenfassung:	AIMS To determine functional results after unilateral and bilateral cataract surgery in children with different aphakic optical correction. METHODS In this retrospective study, we evaluated visual acuity and binocular vision in 107 children who underwent cataract surgery during the 10 year period from 1985 to 1995. Aphakia was corrected by an intracapsular intraocular lens (IOL), spectacles or contact lenses. RESULTS Mean visual acuity was >20/40 (20/63 (
