About

The purpose of this observational study is to assess the therapeutic strategies in the treatment of pediatric cataracts.

Full description

Technical progress and recently described potential issues have recently challenged the surgical treatment of pediatric cataracts. Many questions remain unsolved: primary vs secondary implantation, nature of the implant used. The aim of this study is to establish a systematic prospective register of all cataracts operated on in a tertiary pediatric centre in order to help answering these questions.
