ABSTRACT
Abstract Objective: To identify the main causes of traumatic cataracts in childhood, based on a scientific review. Methods: Review in Lilacs, Pubmed, Cochrane, Bireme and Sciencedirect databases for the keywords: infant cataract, traumatic cataract, child, pediatrics, low vision, blindness, cause, incidence, ocular trauma. Results: Seventy-two (72) articles on traumatic cataract were found. From these, 17 presented tables relating the cause of ocular trauma to the formation of cataract in pediatrics. This article presents the main findings and analysis of the topic in the literature. Conclusion: The traumas etiologies which were most prominent in the studies analyzed were pointed objects such as cuttings, splinters and wood stick. Boys were more affected and there was a relation with practice of internal and external activities of domicile, in rural and urban zones.
Resumo Objetivo: Identificar as principais causas das cataratas traumáticas na infância, baseado numa revisão científica. Métodos: Pesquisa nas bases de dados Lilacs, Pubmed, Cochrane, Bireme e Sciencedirect com as palavras- chave: catarata infantil, catarata traumática, criança, pediatria, baixa visão, cegueira, causa, incidência, trauma ocular. Resultados: Foram encontrados setenta e dois (72) artigos sobre catarata traumática. Destes, 17 apresentaram tabelas relacionando a causa do trauma ocular com a formação de catarata em pediatria. Este artigo apresenta os principais achados e análise do tema na literatura. Conclusão: As etiologias dos traumas que apresentaram maior destaque nos estudos analisados foram com objetos pontiagudos como estaca, lascas e graveto de madeira. Meninos foram mais acometidos e houve relação com prática de atividades internas e externas ao domicilio, em zona rural e urbana.

Pediatric cataract is the most common treatable cause of blindness in children. Prevalence, etiology and morphology vary with the socioeconomic development. The treatment goal is to reduce amblyopia, being difficult management especially in unilateral cases. The decision on aphakia or primary intraocular lens should be individualized as well as correction with contact lens or spectacles. The intraocular lens single-piece hydrophobic acrylic are the most implanted in children and the preferably is in the capsular bag. The Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff theoretic (SRK/T) stressing that is described as more predictable, following Holladay I and SRK II and the recommendation is to under correction +6.0 or +8.0 dioptrias expecting the growth of the eye. The posterior capsule opacity is the most frequent complication and varies with the material choice of the lens. Glaucoma is the most serious postoperative complication and depends on the timing of the surgery, primary lens implantation and time of post surgical follow-up. The adherence to occlusion therapy with patching is critical to the visual prognosis and is determined by the childs age and laterality of the cataract. There was significant improvement in the surgery and in IOLs, however the final visual prognosis is still not desirable.
A catarata pediátrica é a causa mais comum de cegueira tratável em crianças. Prevalência, etiologia e morfologia variam conforme o desenvolvimento sócioeconômico. O tratamento tem como objetivo diminuir a ambliopia, sendo de difícil manejo principalmente em casos unilaterais. A decisão sobre afacia ou implante primário de lente intraocular deve ser individualizado, assim como a correção com lente de contato ou óculos. As lentes intraoculares acrílicas hidrofóbicas de peça única são as mais implantadas em crianças com preferência de implante no saco capsular. A fórmula biométrica Sanders-Retzlaff-Krafftheoretic (SRK/T) é a mais precisa em pacientes pediátricos, seguida de Holladay I e SRK II, com recomendação de sob correção de +6 a +8.0 dioptrias, devido ao esperado crescimento rápido do globo ocular. A opacidade de cápsula posterior é a complicação mais frequente e varia com o material da lente a ser implantada e o glaucoma é a complicação pós-operatória mais grave e depende da idade da criança na cirurgia, implante primário de LIOs e da duração do acompanhamento pós-cirúrgico. A adesão ao tratamento oclusivo é fundamental para o prognóstico visual, sendo determinado de acordo com a idade da criança e a lateralidade da catarata. Mesmo com a melhora do tratamento cirúrgico e das lentes intraoculares o prognóstico visual final ainda não é o desejável.

According to the World Health Organization, cataract is the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment throughout the world. However, the etiology of cataracts often remains unknown. This report describes the development of cortical cataract in a patient after Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenckii.
De acordo com a Organização Mundial de Saúde, a catarata é a principal causa de cegueira e deficiência visual em todo o mundo. No entanto, a etiologia das cataratas frequentemente permanece desconhecida. Este relato descreve o desenvolvimento de catarata cortical em um paciente após Síndrome oculoglandular de Parinaud causada pelo fungo Sporothrix schenckii.

Objective To explore therapeutic efficacy of blue-light-filtering intraocular lenses implantation on treating patients with diabetes cataract , and provide a more comfortable choice after phacoemulsification ( PHACO) and intraocularlens ( IOL) implan-tation.Methods A total of 100 cases (100 eyes) of patients with diabetes cataract was collected , and was randomly divided into group I ( n =50, implanted ordinary intraocular lenses ) and group II ( n =50, implanted blue-light-filtering intraocular lenses).Af-ter surgery, the best-corrected vision and postoperative complications were reported .The subjective visual performance was evaluated by questionnaire .Results At 1 week and 1 month after surgery , the best-corrected vision had no significant differences between two groups ( P >0.05 ) .Early complication after surgery was not significantly different between two groups ( P >0.05 ) .The subjective visual performance in the blue-light-filtering intraocular lenses group was significantly better than that in the ordinary intraocular lenses group ( P <0.05 ) .Conclusions When the blood sugar is controlled in certain level , it is possible for the blue-light-filtering in-traocular lenses to provide a better choice for patients with diabetes cataract .
