Résultats et complications de la chirurgie de la cataracte congénitale

Results of surgery for congenital cataract were studied according to age of implantation, type and polarity. Each forms combined, visual acuity in logMAR is divided by a median of 0.45 (5/10) in bilateral cataracts and 0.7 (2/10) in the unilateral. The precocity of the surgery allows a better prognosis, but exposes to more complications, especially glaucoma. Complications as inflammatory diseases, glaucoma, capsular opacification, refractive error, residual myopic shift, and retinal complications are discussed.
