Intraoperative posterior capsule flutter in posterior lentiglobus.

Posterior capsules of pediatric eyes with lens disorders have complex morphological variations with differing etiologies and visual prognoses. We describe a unique case of intraoperative posterior capsule flutter in an eye of a child undergoing cataract surgery, which we interpret as a possible expression of posterior lentiglobus.

Intraoperative performance and postoperative outcomes of cataract surgery in infant eyes with microphthalmos.

Purpose: To report the intraoperative performance and postoperative outcomes in microphthalmic eyes of infants younger than 1 year having bilateral cataract surgery.

Setting: Iladevi Cataract & IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India.

Methods: This prospective observational study excluded eyes with ocular trauma, inflammation, posterior persistent fetal vasculature causing stretching of the ciliary processes or tractional retinal detachment, aniridia, or chorioretinal coloboma.
