Assessment of visual function in children with foldable intraocular lens implants.

PURPOSE: The aim of the current study was to assess the results of cataract surgery involving implantation of foldable intraocular lenses in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cataract surgery with foldable lenses was performed in 60 children. Postoperative visual acuity, endothelial cell density, corneal pachymetry, postoperative astigmatism and complications were analyzed. RESULTS: Quick visual recovery was observed in children after surgery. Only a few postoperative complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS: The foldable intraocular lenses are easy to insert. The surgical procedure with foldable lens implantation is a useful and safe method of treatment.
