Parenting stress in the infant aphakia treatment study . OBJECTIVE To evaluate parenting stress following infants ' cataract extraction surgery , and to determine if levels of stress differ between 2 treatments for unilateral congenital cataract in a randomized clinical trial . METHODS At surgery , an intraocular lens ( IOL ) was implanted or children were left aphakic , treated with contact lens ( CL ) . Stress measures were administered 3 months after surgery and at the first visit after the visual acuity ( VA ) assessment done at 12 months of age . RESULTS Caregivers in the IOL group reported higher levels of stress than those in the CL group 3 months after surgery , but there were no group differences in stress scores at the post-VA assessment . Stress scores did not change differentially for participants assigned to IOL versus CL treatments . CONCLUSIONS Treatment assignment did not have a significant impact on caregiver stress during infancy or on the change in stress during the child 's first 2 years of life .
