INTROOCULAR LENS OPTICAL POWER INDIVIDUAL CHOICE SYSTEM IN INFANTS (1-24 MONTHS) WITH CONGENITAL CATARACTS AT PHACOASPIRATION WITH PRIMARY IMPLANTATION

100 infants, 1–24 months (159 eyes) with congenital cataracts (ave age 9.9±5.3 months) were operated by phacoaspiration with primary intraocular lens (IOL) Acrysof implantation.

It is revealed that as a result of eye growth processes and cornea flattening, there is a gradual and considerable IOL power reduction.

Implanted IOL power in infants should consider the subsequent eye development, refraction change and defined individually.
