Abstract:
Forty eyes of 35 patients in paediatric age group suffering from congenital/traumatic cataracts were operated. Posterior chamber intra ocular lens (PC IOL) implantation was carried out and followed for four years. Twenty one eyes (52.5%) showed visual recovery of 6/18 or better. Forward thrust was the commonest per operative complication. Uveitis and pupillary distortion were the common post operative complications. PC IOL implantation appears to be safe and promising procedure.
