Phacoemulsification and primary implantation with bag-in-the-lens intraocular lens in children with unilateral and bilateral cataract.

For children having cataract surgery with primary implantation of BIL-IOL, VAO is rare and visual outcome overall good. Unilateral cataracts are associated with a higher proportion of ocular comorbidity and poorer visual outcome.

The Swedish National Pediatric Cataract Register (PECARE): incidence and onset of postoperative glaucoma.

In this paediatric cataract cohort, a majority of eyes had surgery before 3 months of age (58.3%).

Secondary glaucoma and visual outcome after paediatric cataract surgery with primary bag-in-the-lens intraocular lens.

Comorbidity strongly increases the risk of secondary glaucoma. Surgery during the first month is correlated with better CDVA outcome and glaucoma. After 5 weeks of age, glaucoma rate is low with the BIL-IOL.

Late-onset glaucoma following congenital cataract surgery: Occurrence, visual acuity and risk factors: A 37-year longitudinal follow-up.

Life-long follow-up of all patients who have undergone surgery for congenital cataract in childhood is recommended.

Incidence of postoperative retinal detachment and bacterial endophthalmitis in the Swedish national paediatric cataract register and associated risk factors.

The incidence of RD was low compared to previous studies and no endophthalmitis was found.

Outcome of surgical treatment of primary and secondary glaucoma in young children.

The incidences and outcome of surgically treated paediatric glaucoma were in accordance with previous studies.
