Official Title: Visual Axis Obscuration and Postoperative Complications Following Pediatric Cataract Surgery With Introacular Lens Implantation In-the-bag Versus Posterior Optic Capture : A Randomized, Clinical Trial
Brief Summary: This prospective, randomized, clinical trial looks to compare children undergoing congenital cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in terms of visual axis obscuration as well as postoperative complications such as glaucoma, inflammation and IOL centration when IOL fixation is performed using two different techniques : 1) conventional in the bag IOL implantation with anterior vitrectomy, and, 2) posterior optic capture of the IOL through the posterior capsulorhexis without any vitrectomy. 61 eyes of 61 children randomized to receiving IOL implantation using one of the two techniques will be followed up until 12 months postoperatively.
