The dynamics of the anterior-posterior axis of the eye and refraction in children with pseudophakia after early surgery of the congenital cataract (preliminary report)
We present the results of a comprehensive ophthalmic examination including, along with the traditional methods, refractometry and biometry of 62 children (90 eyes) aged from 2 months to 7 years with congenital cataracts before and after surgery with intraocular lens implantation aged from 2 to 11 months. The optical power of the intraocular lens was determined by the formula SRK II. The value of hypocorrection was calculated on the projected emmetropic or slightly myopic refraction to preschool age. The study of the anterior-posterior axis’dynamics of the eye and refraction held at various times after extraction of congenital cataract in children with initially normal size of the eye, with microphthalmosof the 1st degree and microphthalmos of the 2-3rd degree. The results of the different anterior-posterior axis’ dynamics of the eye and refraction in children after early intraocular correction indicate the need for further study of the long-term results, which will allow differentiated and more accurate approach to determining the value of hypocorrection with intraocular lens implantation in children of the first year of life with different initial anatomical parameters of the eye.
