Abstract
Aim: To determine the incidence and predictors of glaucoma following surgery for congenital and infantile cataract in an Australian population. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Participants: Infants (<12 months) having had lens extraction between January 1992 and May 2006, from two tertiary referral centres. Methods: Children with uveitis, anterior segment dysgenesis, aniridia, retinopathy of prematurity, and lens subluxation were excluded.

Main Outcome Measures: Incidence and predictors of secondary glaucoma. Results: One hundred and forty-seven e..
