Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Childhood cataract remains a challenge to pediatric ophthalmologists despite recent major breakthrough in surgical techniques and instrumentation. Pediatric cataract is one of the major causes of preventable childhood blindness, affecting approximately 200,000 children worldwide, with an estimated prevalence ranging from three to six per 10,000 live births Congenital cataracts usually are diagnosed at birth. If a cataract goes undetected in an infant, permanent visual loss may ensue. The management of pediatric cataract is a team effort of ophthalmologist ,pediatrician,anaesthetist and parents and should be customized depending upon the age of onset, laterality, morphology of the cataract, and other associated ocular and systemic co-morbidities.This review attempts to summarize the available management options to these patients along with some analytical recommendations to optimise the outcome.
