title: [Modern methods of cataract surgery in children].
abstract: Cataract continues to be one of the most important causes of blindness in children in spite of the fact that surgical treatment prevents visual disturbances. Management of cataract in infants and very young children is more complex than treatment in adults. The choice of appropriate timing of surgery, modern surgical technique, appropriate methods of paediatric aphakic rehabilitation, and management of the general disorder which may cause the cataract are of utmost importance for good visual results in children. Automation introduced in surgery and intraocular lenses have helped to achieve better anatomic conditions and functional outcome of cataract surgery in children.
