Do I have small eyes because I was born with cataracts?

Question

Every eye doctor I see will remind me that my eyes are smaller than normal. Only a few people have been able to notice right away because the difference is less than 2mm diameter. I haven't seen an eye doctor for a couple of years and didn't think to ask before. Do you think that the cataract surgery at such a young age (2 weeks) is related to having smaller eyes as an adult?

Answer 1

Having the surgery would not cause smaller eyes, although the small eyes and the cataracts are possibly both due to minor development problems as a foetus.

Answer 2

you're asking if the cataract extraction PROCEDURE caused your small eyes?  probably not.

Answer 3

from what I understand there isn't really any correlation between the two.
