Excerpt

The stakes of cataract surgery are higher in children then in adults for several reasons. Younger children are still in the visual development period, so that refractive errors and visual deprivation can affect visual acuity for life. Management of postoperative complications such as posterior capsular opacification or a need for lens exchange typically require general anesthesia in children. The potential benefits of surgery are also greater, because children have more potential years of life to enjoy improved vision. …
