The Ideal

A 2.5- to 4-mm well-centered laser posterior capsulotomy would be ideal. A 2-mm posterior capsulotomy which is well-centered in the pupil region may be adequate. Laser posterior capsulotomies larger than 5 mm is not necessary and if not wellcentered may extend over the optic of intraocular lens risking vitreous coming forward around the optic if the anterior capsulorrhexis does not cover the edge of the optic completely. Too large a posterior capsulotomy may also risk posterior migration of intraocular lens with the plate haptic intraocular lens. ...

This study analyzes the results of cataract surgery with primary intraocular lens implantation inunilateral childhood traumatic cataract following penetrating trauma and its long term follow up.It is a hospital based study of 114 children (age 3-10 years) with unilateral traumatic cataract whounderwent extracapsular cataract extraction/ lens aspiration with implantation of posterior chamberintraocular lens (IOL). Primary posterior capsulotomy (PPC) was performed in 57 eyes and the rest57 were without PPC (NPPC). The patients were followed up at regular intervals for a period of 3years.Postoperative inflammation and pupillary capture were two frequent complications seen duringpostoperative period. Development of posterior capsular opacification (PCO) was 1/57, 4/57 at 8thweek and 7/30 and 14/39 at 6 months, in PPC and NPPC group, respectively. Best corrected visualacuity (BCVA) ≥ 6/18 was achieved in 50% of eyes at 8th week post operatively and the same at 3years with/without membranectomy/capsulotomy was evident in 73.3% of eyes.Meticulous case selection with insersion of “in the bag IOL” and subjecting the traumatizedcataractous eyes to primary posterior capsulotomy are factors responsible for optimal outcome inunilateral traumatic cataract in children.Key words: childhood, intraocular lens, Nepal, traumatic cataract
