Abstract
Aim: To describe and analyze the current techniques utilized in the management of paediatric cataracts and the visual out come.
Materials & Methods A retrospective study of 68 subjects who had undergone cataract surgery during 2007-08 in Govt. REH. PMMA Lens (12mm) was implanted in the bag for children more than 2 years. Intraocular lenses were not implanted for children aged less than 2 years. Optical correction was given.
Results/Discussions: Gender ratio is M: F 7: 1; Maximum 43.75% is in 6-9 age group ; The mean IOL power used in these subjects is 21.72 D; Despite the continued threat of amblyopia, the visual prognosis for a child with a congenital, development or traumatic cataract has improved dramatically.
Conclusions: Role of rubella and trauma in childhood cataract should be investigated and addressed. Cataract surgery with unilateral and bilateral IOL implantation can provide a beneficial effect on final visual outcome in children who are operated-on, before abnormal foveolar function develops.
