Surgical Outcome of Congenital Cataract in Eyes With Microcornea

With the advent of improved surgical technique, better instrumentation, and newer intraocular lenses, outcomes of congenital cataract surgery are improving. Intraocular lens implantation is now being widely accepted, especially in children older than 1 year of age.1,2 This is possible for cases of congenital cataract with normal corneal size; however, for children with microcornea, this may not hold true.
