CATARACT SURGERY Pediatric anterior capsulotomy preferences of cataract surgeons worldwide: comparison of 1993, 2001, and 2003 surveys. Bartholomew LR, Wilson ME Jr, Trivedi RH. J Cataract Refract Surg. 2007 May;33(5):893-900. Comparison of the pediatric anterior capsulotomy preferences of members of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) and the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) reported in 3 surveys (1993, 2001, and 2003). In 1993 and 2001, more than 50% of ASCRS respondents preferred manual anterior capsulotomy techniques; in 2001 and 2003, AAPOS respondents preferred manual and vitrector techniques. The ASCRS preferences remained unchanged when subdivided into domestic and international, as did AAPOS domestic preferences; however, more than 50% of AAPOS international preferences changed from manual alone in 2001 to a manual-vitrector combination in 2003. In 2003, more than 50% of AAPOS respondents worldwide preferred this combination: the vitrector for the very young patient and the manual anterior capsulotomy for the older child. Intraocular lens power calculation in children. Eibschitz-Tsimhone M, Archer SM, Del Monte MA. Surv Ophthalmol 2007; 52: 474-82. The acceptable age for placing IOLs in infants and children undergoing cataract surgery is becoming younger. IOL implantation in children ≥2 years of age has become widely accepted, although implantation during infancy continues to be controversial. Most current tools for selecting IOL power were developed using theoretical or regression formulas based on data from adult eyes. These may not be optimal for children because of differences in axial lengths, anterior chamber depth, and keratometric values; continuing ocular growth during childhood; and potential inaccuracy in measurement of children. This paper reviews current tools and considerations for IOL power prediction in infants and children. In particular, the authors discuss normal ocular development, postoperative refractive goals in older children and infants, measurement of axial length, and methodologies for IOL power calculation in adults and children. This paper is worth a read by anybody who performs pediatric cataract surgery. 29
