Second intraocular surgery after primary pediatric cataract surgery: indications and outcomes during long-term follow-up at a tertiary eye care center

Abstract: Purpose Although pediatric cataract surgery has become standardized and safe, further surgical interventions are not uncommon. The purpose of this study was to analyze the incidence of complications in children who required an intraocular intervention. Methods A retrospective review of medical records of children (o7 years) with cataract who underwent cataract surgery with or without primary posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) placement between January 2006 and December 2014 was carried out. Data were col… Show more

“…Time between cataract surgery and glaucoma diagnosis has ranged in the literature from 2.5 months to over 5 years [ 11 , 23 , 24 ]. In addition, associations between risk of GFCS and various factors of the cataract surgery have been investigated, such as aphakia vs. pseudophakia after cataract extraction, and use of intra-operative anti-inflammatory agent [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. These factors, however, have failed to demonstrate a reproducible and significant association with increased risk of GFCS.…”

“…Pediatric cataract is the leading cause of blindness in children, and timely cataract surgery is crucial for restoring vision. Following defects in the blood-aqueous barrier, the pediatric eye may develop severe postoperative inflammatory reactions, which may result in multiple complications, such as visual axis opacification [ 1 , 2 ], severe inflammatory response [ 3 , 4 ], formation of secondary membranes [ 3 ], intraocular lens (IOL) precipitates [ 5 ], pupillary capture [ 5 ], posterior synechiae [ 5 ], corectopia [ 6 ], glaucoma [ 1 , 7 ], endophthalmitis [ 6 ], and retinal detachment [ 8 , 9 ], among other conditions. Due to the inherent nature of the developing eyes and the narrow anterior ocular segment in children, not all pediatric patients can immediately receive IOL implantation after cataract surgery, particularly those aged <2 years [ 10 ].…”

“…Pediatric cataract management has gained tremendous focus in the past decade. [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 ] There is a renewed sense that while cataract surgery in adults appears to be evolving at a furious pace that pediatric cataract surgery is perhaps lagging in our understanding of the basic physiological and anatomical issues that play a role in a successful outcome.…”

“…If we look at the numerous papers published on the subject of pediatric cataract, we begin to see that there have been numerous retrospective papers, survey data, one or two randomized control trials, some meta-analysis studies, and a Delphi consensus paper. [ 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 ] Do we indeed have enough data already to help answer some questions about pediatric cataract management? Maybe so but to develop RWD that leads to RWE the clinical question that we want to ask must be framed appropriately.…”
