Hydrophilic Versus Hydrophobic Acrylic Intraocular Lens Implantation in Paediatric Cataract Surgery

Introduction: The selection of intraocular lens is still debatable in paediatric eye. Due to low cost and fewer intra-operative complication hydrophilic acrylic are implanted volume income countries. There lack comparative study this type with hydrophobic population.
 Aims: To compare the outcomes cataract surgery.
 Methods: Out 48 eyes included study, Group A (n =24) were lens, B lens. children evaluated pre, intra postoperatively for different parameter.
 Results: mean age was 6.6±2.7 years at time surgery. most common zonular (58% 50% B). Postoperatively, corneal edema seen 7(29%) group 2(8%) B. follow-up 16.9±2.9 months. At one year, position capsular bag 20 (88.33%) 24 (100 %) B, respectively. Clear visual axis present 22 Posterior capsule opacification occurred 12(50%) 6(25%) Two (8.3%) underwent surgical membranectomy due opacification. LogMAR acuity 0.56 0.52 respectively year.
 Conclusion: Hydrophilic good alternative Nepal treatment cataract.
