Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between lens thickness and cataract in participants aged 0 to 5 years. Design: This was a prospective, multicenter, case–control study. Participants: We enrolled 118 participants (171 eyes) aged 0 to 5 years, mean age 14.6 ± 17.0 months, range 0 to 60 months. Methods: Lens thickness was measured on 342 ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) images. Main Outcome Measures: Lens thickness; feasibility of lens thickness measurement from UBM images. Results: The mean lens thickness among noncataracts was 3.60 ± 0.17 mm, compared with 3.16 ± 0.61 mm among cataracts (P < 0.0001). Lens thickness
