PurposeTo study the pattern of compliance to follow-up of children less than 5 years of age undergoing surgery for congenital and developmental cataract over a period of 5 years.MethodsIt is a retrospective study of children less than 5 years of age undergoing cataract surgery between January and December 2010 for congenital or developmental cataract and followed up until 31 December 2015. Age, sex, distance from hospital and urban or rural habitat, delay in presentation, socioeconomic status, laterality, morphology and type of cataract, implantation of intraocular lens and interventions done were noted. Compliance to follow-up at postoperative 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and then once a year until 5 years were recorded.Results169 patients were included in the study. The median follow-up was 22 months. Median age at surgery was 10 months and had a negative correlation with total follow-up. Male-to-female ratio was 1.82. Logarithmic curve of follow-up was noticed with 85%, 61%, 55%, 52%, 39% and 28% patients attending 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years of follow-up, respectively. Low socioeconomic group had poor follow-up compared with higher socioeconomic group (P=0.009), but the curve of follow-up was similar in both groups; multiple interventions group had better follow-up (P<0.0001).ConclusionCurve of loss to follow-up is logarithmic in children undergoing paediatric cataract surgery. Age at surgery and low economic status are the most important factors associated with poor follow-up.

A six-year-old girl presented with gradual loss of vision in the left eye a year after sustaining a lightning strike while in her home. Examination revealed healed burns to her cheek, left arm, and right leg and a dense left cataract. There was no evidence of other ocular sequelae, and her right eye was normal. Cataract surgery and lens implantation were performed on the left eye with good results. Isolated, unilateral, paediatric cataract due to lightning is discussed.

PURPOSE: To study the comparative pattern of postoperative complications following cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in pediatric eyes with different technique of surgery done during past 3 years. This study helps reducing the complication and improves the visual outcome and economic burden of patient.

Paediatric Cataract

The risk of developing glaucoma after paediatric cataract surgery is substantial. A number of risk factors have been associated with the post-operative development of glaucoma, the most important and consistent one being age at the time of surgery. Glaucoma occurs in up to one-third of patients who have had cataract surgery at an early age (<9 months), with a particularly high risk when surgery is performed during the first four weeks of life. The discovery of glaucoma in children <2 years of age often requires additional measurements apart from the intraocular pressure measurement. Young children have elastic eye bulbs, and an increase in axial length, an increase in corneal diameter and/or an increase in excavation of the optic disc may be the only indication of glaucoma. The risk of glaucoma after paediatric cataract surgery continues throughout life, and it is therefore pertinent to perform glaucoma evaluation of these patients during follow-up.
