Their mean age at the time of referral was 40.05 months. Based on PedsQL 4.0 scoring instruction, Physical Functioning Scale Score (90.29), Emotional Functioning Scale Score (78.15), and Social Functioning Scale Score (88.81) were calculated. Psychosocial health summary score (83.48) and physical health summary score (90.29) were also measured using their instructions. The average psychosocial health summary score (83.48) and physical health summary score (90.29) ultimately determined the PedsQL 4.0 total score (86.89).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our results revealed that congenital cataract has a bigger psychosocial impact rather than physical, according to both children and parents.
