| Summary: |
Purpose: To
evaluate the postoperative ocular axial length in
children, who had unilateral cataract extraction with
intraocular lens implantation.
Material and methods: In this retrospective study
we studied 20 children (12 boys and 8 girls) in age from
7 to 20 years (mean 14 ±3.65 years), who had undergone
surgery for unilateral cataract: 8 children had
congenital cataract; 7 patients had traumatic cataract;
in 5 cases there were secondary cataract: 3 children had
cataract after uveitis, in 1child cataract was due to
steroid therapy because of nephrotic syndrome and 1
patient had neurodermatic cataract. In 16 cases PMMA
lens was used, heparinized lens was implanted in 3 eyes
and acrylic lens in 1 eye. The power of implants was
from +19 D to +24 D (mean 20.98 ±1.6 D). All
measurements of axial length were obtained using
ultrasound A scan. Examination was done from 14 months
to 7.5 years after surgery (mean 3.5±1.55 years). The
axial length in the operated eyes was compared with
axial length of the fellow nonoperated eyes.
Results: Mean axial length in operated eyes was
22.58±1.56 mm. Mean axial length in fellow eyes was
22.96±1.42 mm. There were no significant differences
between operated and nonoperated eyes (p>0,05).
Conclusions: Cataract extraction with intraocular
lens implantation does not influence rate of axial
growth in children and adolescents. |
