title: [Supracapsular implantation with optic capture of posterior chamber intraocular lens in aphakic school-age children after traumatic cataract].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the clinical effects of supracapsular implantation with optic capture of the posterior chamber intraocular lens in school-age children with traumatic cataract.
  
  
  METHODS
  It was a retrospective case series study. Thirteen cases (13 eyes) received posterior curvilinear capsulorhexis with optic capture of the posterior chamber intraocular lens. Pre- and post-operative visual acuities were recorded. Intra-o and post-operative complications were observed. The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 42 months.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Implantation of optic capture of the posterior chamber intraocular lens was successfully performed in 13 eyes. The best-corrected-visual acuity ranged from 0.2 to 1.0. No optic axis opaque was found in 10 eyes with optic capture. The major complications of optic capture were lenticular precipitates and posterior synechia of the iris. Intraocular dislocation was found in one case two weeks after the operation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Supracapsular implantation with optic capture of the posterior chamber intraocular lens is safe and effective for the treatment of traumatic cataract in school-age children.
