“…Although a great advantage of contact lenses is that there is no need for another operation, this correction may give problems. The main problems [5] are decentration of the contact lenses, prismatic effects, loss of con- tact lenses and there is a greater risk to develop a squint. Children or parents may not cooperate and also we should keep in mind that after several years of enthusiastic contact lens use, many patients decide to stop using them for aphakia correction.…”

Intraocular lens implantation in children with unilateral traumatic cataract

1990

A group of 23 children with traumatic pseudophakia was evaluated. Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was performed as a primary procedure, immediately after aspiration of the traumatic lens, in 7 cases and as a secondary procedure in 16 cases. The mean followup was 6.5 years, varying from 1.5 to 11 years. A visual acuity of 0.7 or more was achieved in 3 of the 8 patients under 7 years of age and in 13 of the 15 cases from 7 to 14 years of age. Awaiting longer follow-up results of epikeratophakia in children we advise to perform early IOL implantation in children under 7 years of age, combined with a rigid amblyopia treatment scheme. In children older than 7 years of age we prefer to try the use of contact lenses first and preserve IOL implantation for selected cases.

“…One of the best indications for IOL implantation in children is monocular aphakia. Binkhorst, van Balen and Gobin [5,6] published some excellent articles on this subject. They propagated IOL implantation at an early stage after lens aspiration.…”

“…The use of IOL's for the correction of traumatic aphakia in children was reported and strongly advised for the first time in 1964 by Binkhorst and Gobin (1964). Further reports were published by Binkhorst and Gobin (1967); Binkhorst, Gobin and Leonard (1969); van Balen (1972van Balen ( , 1973van Balen ( , 1975; Bierlaagh, van der Wee, Kats, Leonard and Binkhorst (1971); Binkhorst, Kats and Leonard (1972).…”

“…The severely injured child should be kept in bed and lightly sedated, and if necessary, hospitalized. If vision is affected the injured eye should be patched, because this may help to prevent suppression (Binkhorst and Gobin, 1964). Local treatment is instituted according to the pathology presented.…”

“…O implante de lente intra-ocular em crianças foi efetuado pela primeira vez por Choyce, em 1956, utilizando uma lente de câmara anterior (7) . Foi seguido por Binkhorst, em 1964, que utilizou uma lente de fixação iriana (8) . Com o advento das lentes de câmara posterior, o índice de complicações foi bem inferior e o seu uso na correção da afacia em crianças foi mais aceitável (9)(10) .…”
