[The clinical research of phaco techniqiue and IOL implantation in children cataract surgery]

• Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical application of phaco technique with amblyopia treatment in children cataract. METHODS: The cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were done in 21 cases(36 eyes) of children who were from three to 12 years old with amblyopia treatment postoperation. RESULTS: The postoperative corrected visual acuity was more than 0.5 on 12 eyes (33%), from 0.1 to 0.4 on 13 eyes (36%), less than 0.1 on Three eyes (8.3%), incorporation on eight eyes (22%). Strabismus was found on one eye with nystagmus on one eye and central corneal perforation on two eyes. In the follow-up, there were two eyes with platycoria and three eyes posterior capsular opacity with Erbium: Yttium Alminum-Garnet Laser(YAG) laser capsulectomy, especially on the patients with traumatic cataract. CONCLUSION: The chilren cataract surgery with the application of phaco technique and amblipia treatment postoperation were more excellent than those with the traditonal surgical methods. We should attach importance to amblipia treatment after the operation.
