The Paediatric Cataract Register (PECARE): an overview of operated childhood cataract in Sweden and Denmark.

The age-specific binational prevalence of operated congenital/infantile cataract in Sweden and Denmark is 30/100 000. About half of the operations are performed within the first year of life, one-third within the first 3 months. In our study population, a primary IOL was implanted in the majority of cases.
