An interventional study of cataract surgery and Intraocular lens implantation in Posterior Capsule Opacification and Postoperative Complications, sponsored by Iladevi Cataract and IOL Research Center. Completed. Open to participants aged 15 Days to 4 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-07-08.
Sponsored by Iladevi Cataract and IOL Research Center · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
This prospective, randomized, clinical trial looks to compare children undergoing congenital cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in terms of visual axis obscuration as well as postoperative complications such as glaucoma, inflammation and IOL centration when IOL fixation is performed using two different techniques : 1) conventional in the bag IOL implantation with anterior vitrectomy, and, 2) posterior optic capture of the IOL through the posterior capsulorhexis without any vitrectomy. 61 eyes of 61 children randomized to receiving IOL implantation using one of the two techniques will be followed up until 12 months postoperatively.
This prospective, randomized, controlled, clinical trial compares visual axis obscuration as well as intra and postoperative complications in children undergoing cataract surgery with IOL implantation using one of two techniques :
The aim is to evaluate whether avoiding anterior vitrectomy is a feasible option, particularly younger children, where anterior vitrectomy has become an integral part of the routine surgical strategy.
All children will be evaluated at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months postoperatively.
