Abstract
As an indispensable part of congenital cataract surgery, intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in infantile patients has long-term positive impacts on visual rehabilitation, as well as postoperative complications inevitably. Timing of IOL implantation in infantile congenital cataract patients is not simply a point-in-time but a personalized decision that comprehensively takes age at surgery, risks of postoperative complications, and economic condition of family in consideration, and combines with choosing suitable IOL type and power. For infants with well-developed eyeballs and good systemic conditions, IOL implantation at six months of age or older is safe and effective. Otherwise, secondary IOL implantation may be a safer choice.
