Outcomes for congenital vs. developmental cataract surgery
This study retrospectively reviewed follow-up data (minimum one year) to evaluate ocular outcomes and the potential factors affecting visual acuity after foldable intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in preschool childhood (up to six years) with bilateral cataract. The study included 43...The paediatric cataract: an overview of the embryology and pathophysiology
In the first of the two articles (see Part 2 here) on paediatric cataracts, Samuel Aryee reviews the aetiology of this condition. Cataracts arise from opacification of the natural transparent lens, which can cause partial or total blindness. Although the...
Monofixation syndrome following cataract extraction

Treatment of infantile cataract with secondary IOLs
The authors examined whether secondary IOL insertion is helpful in the successful treatment of monocular infantile cataracts. Eleven children were reviewed: eight with cataract extraction at one to four months of age and three at five to seven months of...Good news: new study links moderate wine consumption to lower risk of cataract surgery
