Evaluation of the results of intraocular lens implantation in Egyptian children.

Abstract
A retrospective study was done for 95 eyes of Egyptian children in whom I.O.L. implantation was performed between 1985 and 1986 to treat unilateral cataract due to trauma or congenital or aphakia. The average range of follow up period was three to four years old. It was revealed that I.O.L. In traumatic cataract gave the best results (as regards the visual acuity with minimal complications) especially with anterior chamber lenses and still the secondary implantation of A.C. lenses had to some extent better results than that of primary A.C. lenses. In congenital cataract, P.C. lenses gave the worst results. Again, the older the age of the children, the better the results of I.O.L. implantation.
