title: Pediatric cataracts.
abstract: Over the past year, major advances have occurred in our understanding of the surgical management of pediatric cataracts. New insights concerning the response of the pediatric eye to intraocular lens implantation coupled with improved surgical techniques are expanding the indications and reducing the complications of intraocular lens implantation in children. Additionally, new progress has been made in identifying the risk factors for the development of pediatric cataracts and the etiologies of associated complications.
