Advances in technology have made surgery in children safer and faster. The
management of pediatric cataract has made rapid progress in the past decade with
the availability of safer anesthesia, newer technique's, more predictable
intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation, a better understanding of neurobiology,
genetics, amblyopia management, improved IOL designs for preventing visual axis
opacification, and adjuvant postoperative care. Modern vitrectomy machines with
minimally invasive instruments, radiofrequency, diathermy, and plasma blades help
immensely in complicated cases. Preoperative evaluation with ultrasound
biomicroscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows better planning of
surgical procedure. The future holds good for stem cell research, customized OCT,
and Zepto (precision pulse capsulotomy).
