PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and outcome of implantation of a single-piece foldable acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) in children younger than 2 years in the Ukraine.
METHODS: A total of 31 children from all over the Ukraine with a median age of 11 months (range 2-28 months) underwent cataract surgery with anterior and posterior capsulorhexis, implantation of a single-piece AcrySof SA30AL IOL and anterior dry vitrectomy. Of these, 22 patients attended the last follow-up. Ten patients had follow-up periods of 12 months; 12 had follow-up periods of 18 months. At the postoperative visits, we investigated visual acuity (VA), whether or not the subject had strabismus, lens epithelial cell migration and signs of secondary glaucoma.
RESULTS: The single-piece IOL remained clinically centred in all eyes. No secondary glaucoma was detected. Eleven patients needed surgery for after-cataract. All but two patients achieved better VA after surgery. Many patients suffered from deprivation amblyopia as quite a few cataracts were probably congenital; however, the improvement in VA shows that cataract surgery was worth performing despite the late intervention.
CONCLUSION: The foldable single-piece acrylic IOL seems to be well tolerated by children aged 0-2 years. No serious complications were seen and no patient developed secondary glaucoma within the follow-up time. However, lens epithelial cells are very lively in this age group.
