Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 07/31/09
Ricci B et al. – The percentage of pediatric hospital admissions with discharge diagnoses of congenital or infantile cataract remained fairly stable from 1999 through 2004; rates were higher in children 1 to 4 years old than in children younger than 1 year. The percentage of hospitalizations for cataract that involved surgical extraction was higher in children 1 to 4 years old. It decreased over time in both age groups. Ophthalmologists in Italy use intraocular lens implantation in children who are at least 1 year old, although this procedure is not common.
