Summary

Lens implantation in children over two years old does not require lens replacement. However, long-term follow-up shows a slight visual function decrease, necessitating strict indications for lens implantation.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology
  • Intraocular Lens Implantation

Background:

  • Lens implantation in children addresses refractive errors and visual development.
  • Concerns exist regarding the long-term stability and visual outcomes of implanted lenses in pediatric patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address concerns regarding the necessity of lens size and strength adjustments after two years of age in pediatric lens implantation.
  • To evaluate the long-term visual function following Binkhorst 2-platinum loop lens implantation for traumatic cataracts in children.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of pediatric cases undergoing lens implantation.
  • Long-term follow-up (over ten years) of patients with Binkhorst 2-platinum loop lenses for traumatic cataracts.

Main Results:

  • Lens size and strength remain stable after the second year of life, negating the need for adjustments.
  • A slight decrease in visual function was observed in long-term follow-up of Binkhorst lenses for traumatic cataracts.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric lens implantation after age two does not require subsequent lens modification.
  • While posterior chamber lenses may have fewer complications, strict indications for lens implantation remain crucial due to potential long-term visual function decline.
