| Publisher Description: This book, a case study which was conducted in Bangladesh, illustrates the evaluation of management of childhood cataract and analyzes the post-operative visual outcome of the patients. It consists of secondary and primary data which was experimented on 500 eyes with cataract of 300 children. Patients those were under 2 years, irrigation and aspiration, including primary posterior capsulorrhexis with anterior vitrectomy were done. The authors explore that early recognition and early surgery are crucial in childhood cataract's management; however, primary posterior capsulorrhexis and anterior vitrectomy would be recognized as mandatory step in all patients under 5 years as it successfully reduces the visual axis opacification. Furthermore, surgery is just only one intervention in the series of steps needed to restore the child's vision. Prompt optical correction, proper postoperative care and regular follow-up are also significant part of management. This study would unlock further frontiers for prospective researchers in this area and contribute to eradicate the curse of childhood blindness from all over the world. |
