Objective:
To explore the therapeutic method for congenital perinuclear cataract after optical iridectomy.
Methods:
Twelve cases (24 eyes) with congenital perinuclear cataract after optical iridectomy were selected. After extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, the sides of the iridectomy were sutured to complete the coreoplasty.
Result:
No patient complained of photophobia and monocular diplopia postoperatively. Every one got a nearly round pupil with light reaction and a corrected visual acuity >/= 0.5.
Conclusion:
The combination of ECCE, IOL implantation and coreoplasty is a good therapeutic method for congenital perinuclear cataract after optical iridectomy.
