Abstract: Congenital cataract is a common disease that can lead to blindness in children. Improvement in success rates have been observed owing to the development of microsurgical techniques. In children, the timing and methodology of surgery and selection of appropriate power of intraocular lens differs from that of adult cataract due to rapid growth of infantile eyes. In addition, when compared with adult cataract, congenital cataract is associated with higher rate of complications and requires long-term post-surgical training for correction of amblyopia. In view of the aforementioned characteristics, the present study reviewed the relevant literature, with the aim to provide insight into the treatment of congenital cataract.

Key words: Congenital cataract, Phacoemulsification, Intraocular lens, Visual reconstruction
