Optic capture of 3-piece hydrophobic acrylic IOLs could be achieved in most eyes. The VAO, glaucoma, and inflammation were comparable 12 months postoperatively. Thus, optic capture of an IOL is an alternative surgical technique that can be used to avoid vitrectomy, even in children younger than 4 years.

The long-term results suggest good visual outcomes can be obtained with congenital cataract associated with congenital rubella syndrome after early surgical intervention. The rate of serious postoperative complications was acceptable.
