Abstract

Study design:Randomised prospective study
Material and Method:Sample size of 40 eyes of 40 patients. Inclusion criteria-age 0-12 years, developmental and congenital cataract. Phacoaspiration with primary posterior capsulorhexis was performed in each case. Divided in 2 groups: Group A-20 eyes Hydrophilic Iols
Group B-20 eyes hydrophobic Iols.
Results:Postoperative BCVA was found better in group B than group A. Incidence of complications are more in group A than group B like PCO, uveitis, pigment dispersion, synechiae, irregular pupil. Pupillary capture was found equally in both groups. Iol decentration, glaucoma and endophthalmitis were not seen in either groups.
Conclusion: İn pediatric age group Mature cataract found more followed by posterior subcapsular cataract. Our study conclude that hydrophobic IOls are better than Hydrophilic Iols in pediatric age groups.
