Abstract

<p>[Purpose] We reported a case of pediatric cataract that required cataract surgery despite of no abnormalities detected by the Spot™ Vision Screener (SVS).</p><p>[Case] A 4-year-old boy was detected with poor vision in the right eye in a medical checkup for 3-year-old children. Although autorefractometry showed variation in the astigmatic power and a decline in the confidence coefficient, the SVS indicated normal finding. The right and left visual acuities were 0.2 and 1.0, respectively, without correctors. The right eye was diagnosed with posterior subcapsular cataract and posterior lenticonus. No abnormalities were found in the cornea or fundus. Because the amount of higher-order aberrations was large and the refractive errors were not expected to be successfully corrected, cataract surgery was performed. With postoperative refractive correction and occlusion therapy, his right visual acuity improved to 1.0.</p><p>[Conclusion] By performing both SVS and conventional visual acuity tests in the medical checkup for 3-year-old children, mild cataract may be detected.</p>
