Younger Not Better for IOLs
Topic: Contact Lenses

OSNSuperSite reported that "a study examining primary IOL correction of monocular aphakia in infancy found that at 1 year, 63% of children in an IOL implantation-only group needed one or more additional intraocular operations, as opposed to 12% of children in a contact lens-only group.

"The additional operations were performed mainly to "clear lens reproliferation and pupillary membranes from the visual axis," according to the study."
