Pediatric bag-in-the-lens intraocular lens implantation: Long-term follow-up

“…24 The use of an intraoperative intracameral triamcinolone injection or postoperative oral prednisolone has been suggested for surgeries involving congenital cataracts. 25,26 Our postoperative antiinflammatory regimen was similar to that for adult cataract surgery and included only topical corticosteroids and nonsteroidal topical antiinflammatory drops, both administered 4 times a day for a total of 1 month postoperatively. Unlike the infant aphakia treatment study drops protocol, 15 atropine drops were not used because a small pupil is preferable for preventing early postoperative BIL IOL incarceration in the iris margin.…”

“…50-52 While existing studies have described the causes of visual impairment of children in South America 47,48 and the need for early diagnosis and treatment for congenital cataracts there, 46,49 few studies have included information about follow-up after congenital cataract surgery in South America. 50-52 In addition, in Peru parents are required to purchase the surgical supplies needed including an IOL when cataract surgery is performed in public hospitals. This is a significant financial burden to the parents of many children with cataracts.…”
