[Eye disease with myotonic dystrophy type 1].

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 is one of the most common genetic neuromuscular diseases in adults. The disease not only affects the musculoskeletal system, but is multisystemic, and ocular involvement with cataract formation is a frequent additional finding. To avoid recurrence of secondary opacification that is difficult to treat, the cataract should not be treated with traditional lens replacement.

Bag-in-the-lens intraocular lens in paediatric cataract surgery: intraoperative and postoperative outcomes.

Purpose: To report intra- and postoperative surgical outcome using the bag-in-the-lens (BIL) technique in paediatric cataract surgery.

Methods: In a retrospective case series, we studied the outcomes of children aged <12 years operated for cataract with the bag-in-the-lens intraocular lens (IOL), with a minimum of 6 months of follow-up.

Results: Since 2013, 50 eyes in 30 patients <12 years (20 bilateral and 10 unilateral) have been operated at our department with the BIL technique, with a median follow-up time of 33.
