Regular follow-up is essential to successful management of congenital ectopia lentis, but it is often ignored by parents in China. With rapid economic development, there are increasing numbers of mobile phone users that allow for communication applications to be used in medical care. The investigators aimed to assess the potential of the smartphone application assisted medical service to increase patient compliance in attendance of follow-up after congenital ectopia lentis treatment.
