Purpose:
To evaluate the enhancement of the visualization of the anterior lens capsule with indocyanine green (ICG) in pediatric dense, mature cataracts.
Patients And Methods:
Six children (10 eyes) 4 to 9 years old with complete, white cataracts underwent ICG-enhanced cataract surgery.
Results:
All of the eyes showed a complete continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and a well-centered intracapsular implant. No surgical or postoperative complications were encountered.
Conclusion:
Staining the anterior capsule with ICG is an excellent way to facilitate performance of an anterior capsulorhexis in pediatric white cataracts.
