Status and Prospect of Congenital Cataract Treatment

Congenital cataract is the most common cause of treatable blindness in children. With the continuous improvement of surgical techniques, clinical success rates have been greatly improved. However, successful surgery is just the first step in visual functional recovery. The establishment of a specialized pediatric ophthalmic treatment system that selects the appropriate indications and timing of surgery is of great importance. The system could help surgeons master congenital cataract-specific surgical skills and improve standard refractive correction, amblyopia treatment, and binocular vision training.
