Clinical observation on efficiency of pediatric cataract surgery

Objective To observe the curative effects of pediatric cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation and to investigate defense for the complications.Methods Different surgical ways with various types of intraocular lens implantation were performed on 45 cases (60 eyes) including 38 cases with congenital cataract and 22 cases with traumatic cataract.The visual acuity and possible complications were analyzed,and all cases were followed up for 12 months.Results After operation,93.3% of patients were relieved from blindness,81.6% of patients obtained corrected vision.Main complications during the operation were posterior capsular rupture and vitreous prolapsed.Main complications after the operation were posterior capsular opacification,uveitis,papillary capture,amblyopia and strabismus and secondary glaucoma.Conclusion Pediatric congenital and traumatic cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation results in a good visual improvement.Correcting refraction and amblyopia treatment are essential in visual acuity recovery.
