Clinical and functional aspects of correction of ametropia in children after extraction of congenital cataracts

Abstract

Congenital cataracts occupy a significant place in the structure of blindness and low vision and are one of the main causes of visual disability since childhood. Currently , cataract in children is one of the urgent problems of pediatric ophthalmology , given its fairly high prevalence and significant role in the structure of blindness and low vision . Due to clouding of the lens, the development of the visual analyzer is disrupted and amblyopia is formed, the treatment of which requires significant and lengthy efforts on the part of ophthalmologists and parents. Among the causes of blindness in children, the share of congenital cataracts varies from 7.5% (in developed countries) to 27.4% (in socially disadvantaged regions). The prevalence of cataracts in developed countries, as well as in Russia, is 1.6-2.4 per 100,000 children [25.].
