Abstract: 【Abstract】Glaucoma following cataract surgery in infant is a delayed complication of congenital and infantile cataract surgery. The incidence  increased with duration of followup. There are many risk factors for the development of glaucoma have, including age at cataract surgery, microcornea, central corneal thickness, persistent fetal vasculature, cataract operating procedure and genetic factors. Primary intraocular lens implantation may be a protective factor. The treatment of glaucoma is difficult. Aqueous drainage devices are moderately successful. In order to reduce visual function damage, we emphasize the importance of a long followup after congenital cataract surgery.  (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2013, 37: 102-106)
