Lens implantation in children

Abstract:
Two objections to lens implantation in children are answered. After the second year of life the size and the strength of the implanted lens does not have to be changed any more. Long-term follow-up (more than ten years) of Binkhorst 2-platinum loop lenses in traumatic cataract gives indication of slight decrease in visual function. In view of this the indication for lens implantation has still to be very strict, although fewer complications are to be expected in the posterior chamber lenses.
