Core Tip	This study examines visual outcomes after pediatric cataract surgery at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Ghana, revealing significant insights into post-operative recovery. Our findings indicate a substantial improvement in visual acuity among children, with early intervention and tailored rehabilitation playing critical roles. Additionally, we identified key factors influencing visual outcomes, such as age at surgery, type of cataract, the cause and duration of cataract, complications after the surgery, follow-up visits and adherence to post-operative care. This study highlights the importance of creating awareness and implementing screening programs to reduce the prevalence of childhood cataract.
