Abstract

Important factors in final visual acuity after paediatric cataract surgery include visual rehabilitation and the prevention of amblyopia. This chapter will discuss the postoperative management of refractive error and amblyopia. Visual outcomes after BIL surgery in the paediatric population are presented in both short-term and long-term settings in the second part. Finally, a range of possible intra- and postoperative complications of paediatric cataract surgery are discussed.
