title: Outcome of a New Acrylic Intraocular Lens Implantation in Pediatric Cataract.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the outcome of Hoya Clear Preloaded intraocular lens (IOL) (PC 60AD, AF Series; Hoya, Tokyo, Japan) implantation in children.
  
  
  METHODS
  Children who underwent phacoaspiration with primary posterior capsulotomy, anterior vitrectomy, and primary IOL implantation through a 2.8-mm incision were observed prospectively. In all cases, attempts were made to implant the IOL into the capsular bag. Parameters noted were ease of implantation, synechiae formation, IOL deposits, decentration of IOL, visual axis obscuration, haptic compression, and ovalling of the rhexis. Intraoperative complications related to the IOL were also recorded.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This series comprised 58 eyes of 38 patients with congenital/developmental cataract who underwent implantation of the Hoya IOL. Mean age of the patients was 3.27 ± 2.69 years (range: 3 months to 8 years) and mean follow-up was 24.5 ± 9.13 months. Visual axis obscuration occurred in 4 eyes, posterior synechiae in 5 eyes, IOL deposits in 6 eyes, haptic compression in 3 eyes, and IOL decentration in 1 eye.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The data suggest that implantation of the Hoya IOL is a safe option in children undergoing cataract surgery.
