Traumatic Cataract
Journal Title: Ophthalmology Research: An International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Traumatic cataract is more common in younger individuals. Traumatic cataract is an important cause of uniocular visual loss and is often sudden in onset. Traumatic lens damage may be caused by mechanical or non-mechanical injury. Traumatic cataract is an indication of intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in children. In trauma visual outcome depends on the interval from injury to the surgery. Early intervention provides better visual outcome and less chance of developing amblyopia and strabismus. Intraocular lens implantation for unilateral cataract in children has a definite role in correcting aphakia, resulting in good visual outcome and thus helping to maintain binocularity. This article explains the basic pathology involving traumatic cataract, pathogenesis and management.
