In the CC group, age was collinear with preoperative visual acuity and AXL; therefore, preoperative visual acuity and AXL were not included in the multivariable analysis. CC: childhood cataract; YAC: young adult cataract; ARC: age-related cataract; LT: lens thickness; AXL: axial length; ACD: anterior chamber depth. P-values <0.05 were considered significant.
