Detailed Description
PURPOSE: To assess the impact on visual development of multifocal versus monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) implantation in children following congenital cataract surgery.
DESIGN: Retrospective interventional consecutive case series. METHODS: We reviewed the records of 56 eyes of 43 pediatric patients who underwent congenital cataract surgery with phacoaspiration and simultaneous implantation of IOL under one year of age. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), refractive error and ocular motility disorders were evaluated after a follow-up greater than 4 years.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
multifocal IOL group patients with unilateral and bilateral multifocal IOL |
Device: cataract surgery
All patients underwent cataract surgery under 1 year of age (mean age 8 months, range 6-12) performed with the same surgical technique: two 1.2 mm clear corneal incision, continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis with a diameter of approximately 6.0 mm and intraocular lens implantation, posterior capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy.
IOL power was calculated using Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff (SRK)/II formula. Multifocal IOL implantated was Alcon AcrySof ReSTOR SN60D3, while the monofocal one was Alcon AcrySof SN60AT.
According to the Infant Aphakia treatment Study, the IOL power was calculated as a function of the child age17, with an undercorrection ranging from 4 to 6 D.
