UNILATERAL TRAUMATIC CATARACT IN CHILDREN

Abstract
The course of unilateral traumatic cataract in 15 children, 8 yr of age and below, admitted consecutively over a period of 9 yr was presented. The follow-up examination revealed that 4 patients had visual acuity of more than 6/18, and of these 2 retained binocular single vision and used contact lenses. The size of the material did not permit any conclusive statements to be made. Thus it was impossible to select the patients who will have either a good or a poor final result from the treatment, with regard to vision and binocular single vision.
