[The specificity of surgery of congenital cataract with implantation of folding "Acrysof" IOL in children].
Described in the paper are the results of surgical treatment of 25 children (37 eyes), aged 3 months to 12 years, with congenital and secondary cataracts. The treatment schemes were based on new technologies including tunnel incisions, continuous round anterior capsulorhexis and aspiration-irrigation as well as implantation of different-model posterior-chamber flexible "Acrysof' IOLs into the capsular sac or ciliary sulcus. A high treatment efficiency as well as a need in a differentiated approach to choosing an IOL fixation, diameter and technique of anterior capsulorhexis and a model of the implanted "Acrysof' IOL made with respect to individual age and clinical peculiarities of eyes of children with congenital cataracts as well as with respect to a potential general somatic pathology (galactosemia) are demonstrated.
