Experience with IOL in children

ABSTRACT

Final visual results after cataract surgery in children are quite disappointing, especially in unilateral congenital and traumatic cataracts. Occlusion therapy along with the aphakic glasses is ineffective. Contact lenses are cumbersome and are not tolerated by children. IOLs are well tolerated by the children, and aniseikonia produced is less than 5%, thus chances of binocular vision are quite high
