Complications of intraocular lenses in children.
Complications in a group of 91 children with congenital and traumatic cataracts in whom intraocular lenses (IOL) have been implanted have been studied. The influence of viscoelastic substances (Healon) in the prevention and treatment of some of these complications, and as a causal factor in others, is presented. Ten different styles of lenses were implanted allowing a comparison of the relationship between the type of lens fixation and the complications observed.
