ABSTRACT

Stereopsis is the highest degree of binocularity and occurs in children aged 3 to 6 months of life.
Objective: to determine stereopsis in pseudophakic children as well as the factors involved in stereopsis in these patients.
Method: a retrospective, longitudinal and descriptive study of 25 children older than 8 years, who had been previously operated on of pediatric cataract in the "Ramon Pando Ferrer" Cuban Institute of Opthalmology. They went to the hospital from June to November, 2015. The variables were stereopsis, laterality, origin of cataract, age at diagnosis, age at the time of surgery and best corrected visual acuity.
Results: fine stereopsis (60" or less) was detected in 28 % of the patients, and some degree of it in 68% of them. It was more frequent in patients with bilateral pseudophakia and with traumatic or developmental cataract, but differences were not significant. All the stereoscopic patients had best corrected visual acuity over 0.5 in its worst vision eye, being this result statistically significant.
Conclusions: the pediatric cataract surgery allows developing stereopsis and the postoperative visual acuity is a determining factor.
