Abstract

A survey of pediatric cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation practice patterns of adult and pediatric cataract surgeons was performed in October 2001. Questionnaires were distributed to the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery and the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus. The overall return rate was 12.6% and 41.0%, respectively. Results show that pediatric cataract surgery with IOL implantation is being performed at a younger age than 8 years ago. Also, pediatric cataract surgery practice patterns are evolving in step with advances in adult surgery but with notable differences.
