The aim of the study was to determine the average axial length reading of the bilateral pediatric cataract undergoing cataract surgery. Pre-operative axial length measurement was done in 80 children below 15 years who had bilateral pediatric cataract. Axial length measurement was done in 56 fellow eyes. The axial length was measured under general anesthesia with the Accutome A-scan. The mean age was 69.7 months (SD=52.6), range from one month to 168 months. The mean axial length reading was 21.3 mm in operated eyes and 21.1 mm in fellow eyes. The range of axial length reading was 16.2 -31.5 mm in operated eyes and it was 16.5 -31.5 mm in fellow eyes. This short observation found that in bilateral pediatric cataract, the axial length value is similar in both operated and fellow eyes. Based on the axial length value of the operated eye, the patients with bilateral congenital cataract can undergo surgery in those eye hospitals where facilities of measurement of axial length is not available.
该研究的目的是确定接受白内障手术的双侧儿童白内障的平均眼轴长度读数。对80名15岁以下患有双侧儿童白内障的儿童进行了术前眼轴长度测量。对56只对侧眼进行了眼轴长度测量。在全身麻醉下使用Accutome A超进行眼轴长度测量。平均年龄为69.7个月（标准差=52.6），范围从1个月至168个月。手术眼的平均眼轴长度读数为21.3毫米，对侧眼为21.1毫米。手术眼的眼轴长度读数范围为16.2 - 31.5毫米，对侧眼为16.5 - 31.5毫米。这项简短的观察发现，在双侧儿童白内障中，手术眼和对侧眼的眼轴长度值相似。基于手术眼的眼轴长度值，双侧先天性白内障患者可在那些没有眼轴长度测量设备的眼科医院接受手术。
