Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

PURPOSE: To summarize recent literature and provide an update on the role of intraocular lens implantation in children. DESIGN: AOC/AACO/AAO 2022 Symposium Summary. INTERVENTION: None. RESULTS: Literature review surrounding the use of intraocular lenses in children. Attention was given to multicenter study efforts including the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study, the Toddler Aphakia and Pseudophakia Study, and the Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group Cataract Registry. CONCLUSIONS: Intraocular lenses are a valuable tool in the care of children with lens abnormalities. Recent studies and advancements in fixation techniques have complimented our care and highlighted age and ocular dependent risks. Thorough initial clinical assessment and long-term postoperative management are critical in maximizing outcomes.
