Assessment of intraocular lens implantation in children.

Visual rehabilitation by conventional aphakic spectacles and contact lenses has posed a serious problem in the pediatric population.

In this report, we discuss two categories: those patients with congenital cataracts, and those patients with traumatic cataracts.
