Abstract
SUMMARY 6- CONCLUSION
Primary posterior chamber intraoccular lens implantation lsa
logic method to correct aphakia in children.
Phacoemulsification with implantation of a soft acrylic 1I01l
provides an effective and safe procedure for small incision cataract
surgery in pediatric patient. Acrylic lOlls have several advantages
including: being biocompatible, inducing mild inflammatory
reaction, easy to handle, controlled unfolding, good stability, and
centration with less incidence of postoperative capsule
opacification.
Out of our clinical study, we would like to stress on some
points regarding pediatric cataract surgery:
1. Early optical rehabilitation is necessary in children to
promote development of binocular function and reduce
incidence of amblyopia, strabismus, and poor vision.
2. It is recommended to choose a power of lOll aiming ito
slightly hypermetropia in children below 7 years old.
3. Subconjunctival injection of long-acting steroid is effectivei in
decreasing postoperative inflammation.
4. Using short acting mydriatic to maintain playing pupil rather
than long-acting drops.
5. In case of unilateral congenital cataract, patching is required
to promote proper visual development of the pseudophalkic
eye.
SUMMARY Er CONCLUSION
6. Parent education about pathophysiology of amblyopia is
critical so the family can understand the treatment strategies
and follow through with the occlusion therapy.
Future research must continue so as to develop more
hydrophilic IOL materials to be used on IOL optics both rigid and
foldable. Surface coatings could potentially be dedvelopcef<di.c to be
applied to the present lenses to make them more hy~roph~IjIC.
