Summary: Cataract still remains one of the causes of blindness in children worldwide. Successful management is dependent on early diagnosis and referral for surgery when indicated. The functional results after pediatric cataract surgery depend not only on the anatomic success of the operation and postoperative maintenance of a clear optical axis, but even more on aphakic visual rehabilitation. Accurate postoperative supervision is essential. This review retrospectively summarizes the current knowledge related to cataract surgery in children, focusing on surgical techniques, post-operative complications (especially posterior capsule opacification and secondary glaucoma) and refractive correction pattern. We also reviewed the preoperative examination including biometry and choice of intraocular lens.
