A cohort study was published to describe the clinical features of congenital cataract (cc) in a tunisian cohort and to assess the surgical outcomes of primary intraocular lens implantation in two groups based on the age at surgery.This study was a prospective analysis of children under 5 years with cc that were operated between january 2015 and 2020.The surgery consisted of phacoaspiration with posterior capsulorhexis and primary implantation.The medium and long-term complications of uveitis¿glaucoma¿hyphema syndrome.An optimal technique includes adequately sized anterior and posterior capsulorhexis, a meticulous cortical cleanup, an anterior vitrectomy and in-the-bag hydrophobic iol implantation.Hence, it seems inadequate to reject primary implantation because of an avoidable and curable complication.The study concluded that primary implantation seems to be safe and efficient.
