Purpose: The aim of the current study was to assess the results of cataract surgery involving implantation of foldable intraocular
lenses in children.
Material and methods: Cataract surgery with foldable lenses was performed in 60 children. Postoperative visual acuity, endothelial cell density, corneal pachymetry, postoperative astigmatism and complications were analyzed.
Results: Quick visual recovery was observed in children after surgery. Only a few postoperative complications occurred.
Conclusions: The foldable intraocular lenses are easy to insert. The surgical procedure with foldable lens implantation is a useful
and safe method of treatment.
