Background: Traumatic cataract accounts for a large proportion of monocular visual disability and blindness in pediatric populations, especially developing countries. This study aims to evaluate the axial length other biometric data changes after penetrating corneal wound eyes.
 Methods: is prospective comparative control carried on thirty children with unilateral ocular trauma associated ...

PURPOSE To compare primary implantation of foldable hydrophilic acrylic with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) intraocular lenses (IOLs) in pediatric cataract surgery in terms of short-term complications and visual outcomes. METHODS This randomized clinical trial included 40 eyes of 31 consecutive pediatric patients aged 1 to 6 years with unilateral or bilateral congenital cataracts undergoing ca...

PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term outcomes of ciliary sulcus versus capsular bag fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs) in children after pediatric cataract surgery. METHODS IOL was implanted in the ciliary sulcus in 21 eyes of 14 children, and in the capsular bag in 19 eyes of 12 children for the treatment of pediatric cataract in an institutional setting. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) was p...

PURPOSE To report the results of secondary posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) implantation in pediatric cataract eyes with microcornea and/or microphthalmos. METHODS Retrospective studies were conducted by reviewing the charts of 26 eyes of 15 patients with secondary PC-IOL implantations for microcornea and/or microphthalmos associated with cataract in children between 1999 and 2002....

AIM To evaluate factors influencing stereoacuity after surgery to correct unilateral developmental pediatric cataracts. METHODS We retrospectively surveyed 110 patients who had undergone removal of unilateral acquired developmental cataracts and primary posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation between February 1992 and December 2009. In all patients, stereoacuity was assessed using the...

PURPOSE To assess the efficiency of simultaneous surgery in bilateral congenital cataract not only in patients with a high anesthesiologic risk profile. METHODS A retrospective study was carried out on 40 bilateral congenital cataract patients (80 eyes) who presented to the outpatient department of pediatric ophthalmology of the University Federico II of Naples in the period from 1990 to 2005...

purpose: to compare the visual outcomes and complications of lensectomy and posterior chamber intraocular lens (pciol) implantation with or without posterior capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy in pediatric cataracts. methods: seventeen eyes of 12 children aged 10 to 15 years with congenital or developmental cataract were randomly divided into two groups. lensectomy and pciol implantation was p...
