Our study was performed to investigate the operative effects of pediatric cataract surgery with anterior vitrectomy. The study comprised of 38 pediatric patients aged 2-5 years and involved a total of 60 eyes with congenital cataracts. The study was done between March 2004 and December 2005. Posterior capsulorhexis with anterior vitrectomy was performed on 34 eyes of 20 children, and cataract extraction was performed on 26 eyes of 18 children. The percentages of various complications and rate of neodymium YAG (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy were followed up for 12-36 months. There were significant differences in the percentages of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and rate of neodymium YAG (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy between the anterior vitrectomy group and cataract extraction group (P < 0.01). The anterior vitrectomy group was associated with less posterior capsular opacification (11.8%) than the cataract extraction group (76.9%). The YAG capsulotomy rate was 2.9% for the anterior vitrectomy group, and 57.7% for the cataract extraction group. After operation the fibrous exudates in anterior chamber and the intraocular lens subluxation or capture were 5.9% and 2.9% for the anterior vitrectomy group while for the cataract extraction group they were 23.1% and 15.4%; the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The results suggest that primary posterior capsulorhexis with anterior vitrectomy in pediatric cataract surgery who are between 2 and 5 years old is necessary and effective procedure with low PCO rate.

“…It is well known that CE in children is complicated because of anatomic and functional characteristics, which include the small globe size, increased tissue reactivity, lower scleral rigidity, changing axial length, and the risk of amblyopia. 11,12 Furthermore, with a delay in cataract formation, it will be easier to treat secondary posterior capsule opacification, to measure axial length and keratometry, and to perform capsulotomies. If cataract development can be postponed, the visual prognosis may improve, especially in young children in whom the period in which management to prevent amblyopia is necessary will be shortened.…”

• PURPOSE: To identify the possible risk factors for the development of cataract requiring surgery in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)-associated uveitis.• DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.• METHODS: Data of 53 children with JIA-associated uveitis, of whom 27 had undergone cataract extraction (CE), were obtained. The main outcome measure, the interval between the onset of uveitis and the first CE (U-CE interval), was examined in relation to clinical and ophthalmologic characteristics and treatment strategies before CE. 2 The risk of cataract formation in JIA-associated uveitis increases when posterior synechia are present at the initial examination and with treatment with a high dose of systemic corticosteroids. 3 Previously, the visual outcome of cataract surgery in JIA-associated uveitis was poor. Since new surgical techniques have been recommended, the results of cataract extraction (CE) have improved, but surgery in uveitic eyes of children still remains challenging. 4 The aim of our study was to evaluate which factors accelerate the development of cataract requiring surgery in JIA-associated uveitis. Therefore, clinical and ophthalmologic characteristics and the treatment strategies in children with JIA-associated uveitis were investigated in relation to the interval between the diagnosis of uveitis and the first cataract extraction (U-CE interval). METHODS WE REVIEWED THE MEDICAL RECORDS OF 53 CHILDRENwith JIA-associated uveitis (n ϭ 51) or antinuclear antibody (ANA)-positive uveitis without arthritis (n ϭ 2) diagnosed before the age of 16 years. These children represent all children with JIA-associated uveitis identified in a complete database search of the FC Donders

“…Moreover, many cases of postoperative uveitis remain poorly controlled despite systemic steroid treatment, leading to clinically significant complications. Complications include secondary membrane formation requiring surgical intervention in up to 27% of children 6 ; this compares with a 3% incidence of severe postoperative fibrinous uveitis in adult populations. 7 In this paper, we describe the outcomes in children who received intracameral preservative-free triamcinolone as an adjunct to topical steroid therapy after cataract surgery.…”
