title: [Clinical observation of posterior chamber lens implantation in children].
abstract: Extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was performed on 22 eyes of 16 patients with congenital or traumatic cataract and with ages ranging from 4 to 7 years old. The periods of follow-up were 1-2 years with a mean, 18 months. The postoperative reaction was mild, no untoward complications occurred in the remote follow-up and the postoperative visual acuities recovered well. The youngest age of IOL implantation, the choice of diopter of refraction and the management of intra- and post-operative complications were discussed.
