Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ‘In Sulcus’ placement of soft foldable IOL in children with congenital cataract. Methods: 40 pseudophakic eyes of 20 children with bilateral congenital cataract were retrospectively reviewed. All the patients were planned for In Bag placement of IOL but due to surgical constraints In Sulcus placement of single piece IOL were done. The age range of patients was 1 to 3 years. All the patients were reviewed for at least upto 2 years with frequent intervals. Visual function, refractive status, anterior chamber depth, pupil reaction, IOL position, IOL capturing, IOP and fundus changes were assessed in different follow up. Results: No significant adverse effects were seen in visual function, refraction, anterior chamber depth, pupil reaction, IOL capturing, IOP and optic disc changes ‘In Sulcus’ placement of soft foldable IOL in children. Conclusion: Soft foldable IOL can be placed safely in sulcus in case of surgical constraint in children with congenital cataract.
