Questions need to be answered


Is IOL Implantation feasible in infants Current trends in IOL Power Calculation Management of complex pediatric cases (trauma, ectopia lentis, PPCD, ant. & post. lenticonus, capsular plaques, etc) Modalities to achieve clear visual axis and to prevent/delay VAO

Importance
Childhood cataracts 1-15 per 10,000 children Birth prevalence of cong. bilateral cataracts
1-3 per 10,000 children in industrialized countries Likely to be 10 per 10,000 in developing nations

Impact much more because of increased years of disability

Issues
IOL implantation and IOL power calculation

Capsule management and Anterior Vitreous face


Postoperative Follow-up

Challenging Cases
Traumatic Cataracts Capsular plaques Pre-existing Capsular defects

Anterior Lenticonus

Traumatic Cataract
Blunt or penetrating trauma Young boys predisposed to sports related, home injuries or work related (innocent bystanders)

Traumatic Cataract

Traumatic Cataract

Traumatic Cataracts
Small, localized, visually insignificant cataracts observe Visually significant cataracts remove at about 4-6 wks following primary repair Thorough evaluation for associated injuries and their surgical M/m specially the capsular bag Radiological Studies for RIOFB

Capsule Plaques

Posterior Capsular Plaques


More common with unilateral cataract Thought to be caused by persistent fetal vasculature even if no obvious hyaloid remnants seen Variable incidence Plaque peeling or posterior capsulorhexis/ vitrectorhexis IOL in the capsular fornices

Anterior subcapsular plaque


Incidence of 11.5% More common with white cataracts

Pre-Existing Posterior Capsular Defects


Preoperative diagnosis difficult but possible in some cases (fish-tail sign) Convert into posterior rhexis

Pediatric Toric IOL


(Anterior lenticonus)
Often associated with Alports Syndrome Marked thinning of central ant capsule Ant capsule may be fragile or extremely elastic

Pediatric Supplementary Pseudophakic (Sulcoflex) IOL

Preservative Free Intracameral Triamcinolone


Inject 4mg/0.1ml at the end of surgery Stains any vitreous strands Provides postoperative anti-inflammatory action Useful as an adjunct to postoperative topical steroid eyedrops

Audience Participation: Quick Poll


How many participants are doing pediatric cataract surgery Would you implant an IOL in less than 1 year child with bilateral VS cataract? How would you calculate IOL power? Till what age post. capsulectomy and ant. Vitrectomy is preferred? Are you using intracameral triamcinolone in PCS?
