Alongside good quality care before and during a cataract operation, careful postoperative care and long term follow-up are essential for good outcomes in children undergoing cataract surgery. This is only possible with the active and ongoing involvement of parents. By giving their child the medication prescribed for them, at the correct times, parents play a vital role in helping the eye to heal well and reducing complications. By bringing their child back for refraction and regular follow-up appointments, parents help to ensure a good visual outcome. Every effort should be made to support parents.
