Pseudo-accommodation in non-amblyopic children after bilateral cataract surgery and implantation with a monofocal intraocular lens: prevalence and possible mechanisms

Background Some pseudophakic patients implanted with a monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) have good near visual acuity (VA) with their distance correction. The objective was to evaluate the prevalence of pseudo-accommodation in children after bilateral cataract surgery, without amblyopia, and to define its mechanisms.
