[Pediatric cataract surgery with posterior capsulorrhexis and optic capture of the intraocular lens].
We evaluated the result of the pediatric cataract surgery with optic capture. The intraocular lens (IOL) optic is subluxated to the vitreous body side through the posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis (PCCC). Five eyes with congenital or developmental cataracts were treated with phacoemulsification and IOL implantation, and then PCCC and optic capture was done. Three of the cases were bilateral and one case was unilateral. All cases have remained in good condition without secondary fibrous membrane formation, which influences visual acuity, and transparency of the posterior capsule was maintained in the visual axis area. We found one case of anterior capsule contraction. Long-term follow up should be continued.
