Secondary IOL

Secondary intraocular lens implantation is defined as implantation of an intraocular lens following an initial surgery that resulted in aphakia or a deficient intraocular lens. The indications for secondary intraocular lens insertion have evolved with improved surgical outcomes of modern cataract surgery.

Posterior lenticonus

Posterior lenticonus is an infrequent congenital defect of the crystalline lens capsule, which produces a small conical projection on its posterior surface. The age of presentation is normally during the early childhood, and it is not associated with systemic illness.

Ped Cataract, Small Pupil

A small pupil makes virtually every step of a cataract procedure more problematic. It limits the size of the capsulorhexis, makes nuclear disassembly more difficult, increases the risk of iris injury and reduces visualization, both during cortex removal and intraocular lens implantation.

Lensectomy High Cut Rate

Lensectomy is an eye surgery procedure to remove a diseased or damaged lens from your eye. An ophthalmologist performs the procedure to remove a natural, crystalline lens to treat cataracts and a wide range of vitreoretinal disorders. During a lensectomy procedure, your eye doctor makes a tiny incision in your eye.

Posterior Capsulorhexis Technique

Ophthalmologist will use a YAG laser to create an opening in the center of the cloudy capsule. The opening allows clear passage of the light rays and eliminates the cloudiness that was interfering with your vision. The entire procedure takes only about five minutes and you can leave soon afterward.

Subluxated lens in a child A Challenge

Complications. Without lens removal, traumatic lens dislocation can lead to complications such as secondary glaucoma, corneal decompensation, and uveitis. Traumatic lens subluxation can also be associated with other ocular trauma, including traumatic cataract and retinal breaks or detachments.

Pediatric Subluxated Lens

Subluxation is the term used when the lens is partially dislocated but remains attached to the ciliary body. Luxation is the term used when the lens is completely detached from the ciliary body. Luxated lenses may dislocate into either anterior or posterior chamber.

Pediatric Uveitic Cataract

Cataract formation in patients with uveitis is usually caused by uncontrolled and sustained inflammation, but also by prolonged use of high-dose topical, periocular and/or systemic corticosteroids. If your child's vision is affected by cataracts, they'll usually need to have surgery to remove the cloudy lens (or lenses) followed by the long-term use of glasses or contact lenses.

Posterior Lenticonus in Infant

Posterior lenticonus is a localized, well-demarcated bulging of the posterior capsule and cortex of the lens. It occurs in approximately 1–4 of every 100,000 children and is mostly unilateral in 8–10% cases. Posterior lenticonus is an infrequent congenital defect of the crystalline lens capsule, which produces a small conical projection on its posterior surface.

Pupilloplasty Post Cataract Surgery

Pupilloplasty is performed to tighten the iris preventing it from causing synechial adhesions that would increase the risk of angle closure and graft failure. Pupilloplasty is a surgical procedure on the iris that alters the shape or function of the pupil. You can think of the iris like a doughnut, and the pupil like the empty space in the middle.

Secondary IOL implantation in children

The secondary IOL implantation in children is a relatively safe procedure associated with low rates of postoperative complications. Visual outcomes are acceptable and are better for bilateral patients than for unilateral patients.
