Abstract
Cataract surgery in children younger than 2 years should be considered a 2-stage procedure in view of the higher incidence of PCO. Secondary glaucoma decreased significantly when surgery was performed after 30 days of age and the eye was left pseudophakic after surgery. Further improvements in IOL design, surgical instrumentation, and implantation techniques will continue to improve the ability to visually rehabilitate children.
