Filter by:This retrospective-prospective bidirectional cohort study aims to observe ocular parameter changes, different surgical/vision recovery strategies and postoperative adverse effects among young children with cataract. The influence on psychology and cognitive function will be taken into consideration as well.
In pediatric/congenital cataract surgery; multiple surgical interventions are performed, which needs multiple general anesthesias. Here, we describe a new technique, to end the operation in one session.
Lens capsular often changes after pediatric cataract surgery，causing complications such as anterior capsulerhexis shrinkage, visual axis opacification (VAO), zonular dehiscence and so on. The aim of study was to prospectively investigate the capsular outcomes of pediatric cataract surgery with primary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of capsular in children with cataract, and to explore potential preoperative structural clues for postoperative glaucoma. The investigators included children with cataract planning to have cataract surgery in our institute. Exclusion criteria were: a history of ocular trauma, a history of intraocular surgery, preoperative glaucoma, steroid use before surgery, a history of maternal rubella syndrome, chronic anterior uveitis, persistent fetal vasculature, ocular anomalies associated with an increased risk of glaucoma, unable to complete examinations. The investigators recorded age at surgery, gender and relevant ocular and systemic histories. All patients underwent slit lamp biomicroscopy, slit lamp adapted anterior segment photography.All patients were examined at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 18 months, and two years after surgery. Patients were followed for two years or until the development of severe VAO requiring Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy, whichever came first. The examinations consisted of visual acuity, IOP measurement by a Tonopen tonometer (Reichert, Inc., Seefeld, Germany), fundoscopy, an assessment by high-resolution digital retroillumination imaging (detailed protocol presented below).The primary outcomes were the areas of the posterior capsular opening at different postoperative follow-up visits and during operation.A paired T test was used to compare the areas of the PCO between the postoperative visits and baseline.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term visual outcome of the cataract surgery using a large-scale and comprehensive database of pediatric cataract participants, including congenital and traumatic cataract. The investigators will further investigate into the various genetic and environmental factors that may contribute to the pathogenesis of pediatric cataract.
To determine whether AquaLase capsule wash reduces posterior capsule opacification (PCO) in pediatric eyes.
