چکیده
Several aspects of cataract surgery in children differ from adults. Ocular anatomy, cataract morphology, exaggerated response to surgical trauma, and the need for amblyopia therapy are major concerns in pediatric cataract surgery.

Achieving a successful result depends on adhering to all the pre-, intraand postoperative considerations and their proper management.
