Abstract

Decisions in pediatric cataract surgery have always been a dilemma owing to the complex nature of the problem. This instruction course would include issues of Pediatric Cataract Surgery that have two or more school of thoughts. Pros and cons of each of these views would be discussed. Some of the common issues which all of us face at some point are – earliest age for IOL implantation, what type of IOL to implant, what should be the target refraction! Management of subluxated lens in children would be discussed. How to manage unilateral pediatric cataracts – both in terms of earliest age in which IOL would be implanted and the steep myopic shift in these children? We will try to find answers to these video assisted instruction course. Trauma in children is common leading to cataract and every case would have different presentation for which surgical plan is modified accordingly. Special situations like Pediatric Aniridia with cataract would be discussed.
