Congenital and childhood cataract (CCC) may result in prolonged visual deprivation and/or postoperative complications and can lead to lifelong visual loss. In the UK, CCC has a reported incidence of 3.5 per 10 000 by age 15 years, with an estimate of around 200 000 children globally are sightless due to cataract.1 Although early observation and surgical removal of cataract is important for sight preservation, determination of the precise cause is also necessary to ensure prompt management of multisystemic complications.

Lacrimal gland involvement in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) commonly accompanies orbital disease, but occasionally may be the sole presentation preceding any other organ manifestation or systemic disease. Diagnosis of orbital GPA, especially in patients with lacrimal involvement as the initial presentation, can be difficult because of nonspecific clinical features and lack of diagnostic specificity on histologic and antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) testing. Orbital GPA can be associated with a high morbidity from potential visual loss or rapid progression of latent systemic disease, making early diagnosis important.

Cataract decreases blue light transmission. Because of the selective blue light sensitivity of the retinal ganglion cells governing circadian photoentrainment, cataract may interfere with normal sleep–wake regulation and cause sleep disturbances. The purpose was to investigate the effect of cataract surgery on circadian photoentrainment and to determine any difference between blue-blocking and neutral intraocular lenses (IOLs).
