Analysis and management of intraoperative and early postoperative complications of bag-in-the-lens intraocular lens implantation in different age groups of pediatric cataract patients: Report of the Giessen Paediatric Cataract Study Group
Acta Ophthalmologica Nov 07, 2019
Lytvynchuk LM, et al. - Researchers aimed at assessing the rate and management of intra- and early postoperative complications of bag-in-the-lens intraocular lens (IOL) implantation technique for cataract treatment in pediatric patients of different age groups. In the setting of the Department of Ophthalmology, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, University Hospital Giessen, and Marburg GmbH, Campus Giessen, Giessen, Germany, they enrolled 90 eyes of 60 pediatric cataract patients in this retrospective non-randomized observational study. Overall, they observed 27 unilateral and 33 bilateral surgical cases of 24 female and 36 male children. Outcomes revealed a relatively low rate of intra- and postoperative complications, including rare cases of visual axis reo-pacification, in correlation to the implementation of bag-in-the-lens technique in the treatment of pediatric cataract. During the learning curve, they recommend considering the correct management of complications related specifically to bag-in-the-lens IOL implantation technique.
