AI Article Synopsis
- The study involved children aged 5 to 15 who received intraocular lenses (IOLs) for various types of cataracts, including traumatic, congenital, and steroid-related.
- The follow-up period for these cases ranged from four months to over nine years, with many children achieving good visual acuity (20/40 or better) and retaining binocular function.
- Postoperative complications were noted, including issues like posterior iris synechia and elevated intraocular pressure, but corneal endothelial health was normal in those who received posterior chamber IOLs.
Article Abstract
We studied children between five and 15 years of age who were implanted with intraocular lenses (IOLs). The subjects comprised eight cases of traumatic cataract, 11 of congenital cataract, and six of steroid cataract. The follow-up ranged from four months to nine and one half years. Twenty of the eyes studied achieved a postoperative visual acuity of equal to or better than 20/40. Binocular function was retained in most cases. Postoperative complications included seven cases of posterior iris synechia, three of iris capture, one of transitory elevated intraocular pressure, and one of cystoid macular edema. Corneal endothelial studies were normal in the eyes in which posterior chamber IOLs were implanted.
