title: [The visual prognosis in congenital cataract].
abstract: The authors focus on the evolution of visual function postoperatorial, based on 349 patients which where diagnosed and operated by congenital cataract, during 1973-1992, in Tg. Mureş Ophthalmological Clinic. All the interventions were done by discising the anterior capsula and washing the lens masses. After studying these cases, the authors conclude that visual prognosis of the operated eye depends on the presence of other congenital abnormalities, on the age of the patient and on the intervention type. In spite of all surgical progresses, congenital cataract still stands as an affection with reserved functional consequences.
