No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Early cataract surgery in microcornea/microphthalmia eyes is essential to prevent amblyopia and improve visual outcomes, including stereopsis. However, despite recent advances in pediatric cataract microsurgical techniques, this surgery remains challenging owing to several intraoperative difficulties attributable to the crowded anterior segment in these small, soft, and poorly developed eyes with shallow anterior chambers, and poor pupillary dilation.

In this study the investigator aim to report on the changes in the anterior segment biometric characteristics after cataract extraction in eyes with microcornea/microphthalmia with congenital cataract.
