What is the ’take-home’ message for the clinician?
We found the postoperative VA of primary IOL group was better than that
of primary aphakia group. Actually, constant optical correction during
this crucial period is very important for children. Moreover, previous
studies indicated primary IOL implantation was a protective factor of
secondary glaucoma. Whereas we found there was no difference in the
incidence of glaucoma surgery between this two groups. These two
critical findings help the surgeons to weigh the visual benefits and the
risks of surgery when they choose IOL implantation for a children
younger than 2 years.
