Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 34
Abstract
Retrospective study of surgical outcome of sixty two children with traumatic cataract, in the age group of four to fifteen years over a period of two years was done. The study group comprised 41 boys and 21 girls. Stick injury (30.7%) was the commonest mode followed by injury with needle (9.7%). Posterior segment involvement was found in 14.4%. Lens aspiration, primary posterior capsulorrhexis (PPC), anterior vitrectomy and IOL implantation was performed whenever possible. The mean follow up period was 21.4 weeks. Thirty one eyes (50%) achieved the best corrected visual acuity of 20/60 or better. The most frequent complication was posterior capsular opacification (30.6%) followed by fibrinous uveitis (14.4%) and optic capture (9.6%).The rate of PCO was lower (9.6%) where PPC was done. Primary Posterior capsulorrhexis can be helpful in childhood traumatic cataract in preventing disability burden.
