Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation. *, data were adjusted for axial length. CCs, congenital cataracts; SFCT, subfoveal choroidal thickness; TCA, total choroidal area; LA, luminal area; SA, stromal area; CVI, choroidal vascularity index; CI, confidence interval; GEE, generalized estimating equation.
