CATARACT, SECONDARY, IOL, BLINDNESS
Treatment of pediatric cataract, one of the leading causes of childhood blindness globally, remains challenging because of the extremely high incidence of postoperative adverse events (AEs) [Theoretically, in-the-bag implantation of IOL prevents contact with the iris and may reduce the risk of AEs [We and other investigators have demonstrated high feasibility of secondary in-the-bag IOL implantation in pediatric aphakic eyes [Whether or how much secondary in-the-bag IOL implantation benefits the pediatric patients more than sulcus implantation and deserves to be performed routinely by surgeons remains to be elucidated.
