Evidence for the Effectiveness of Interventions for Congenital, Infantile and Childhood Cataract

Certain groups are often excluded from trials of new interventions, typically pregnant women and children, but also people unable to give informed consent. Children are not included perhaps because of a distaste for experimenting on little ones and a reluctance to admit to clinical uncertainty when faced with anxious parents.
