Evaluation of a child with a cataract
1.Detailed history including:
• family history
• prenatal history (maternal drug use and febrile illnesses with rash)
• birth history (low birth weight may be associated with idiopathic bilateral congenital cataracts)
• developmental history (exclude metabolic or systemic related etiologies)
• history of the onset of the lenticular opacities, laterality and progression
![Page 5: Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract- Biometry · 2018-03-09 · Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract-Biometry Agathi Kouri, FRCS Pediatric Ophthalmologist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070922/5fba4b21441281179d63146b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2. Detailed ocular examination (office – operating room)
• slit-lamp biomicroscopy to assess:
the size, location, density of lenticular opacity,
associated anterior segment developmental anomalies
• measurement of IOP and corneal diameters
![Page 6: Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract- Biometry · 2018-03-09 · Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract-Biometry Agathi Kouri, FRCS Pediatric Ophthalmologist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070922/5fba4b21441281179d63146b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Fundus examination (partial cataracts)
• Ultrasound examination (total cataracts) may reveal
posterior-segment abnormalities

• 3.Examine family members

4. Investigations:
• Unilateral cataracts : not usually indicated most of them are isolated, nonhereditary and without any systemic associations
• Bilateral cataracts : may be considered in conjunction with general health assessment of the child by a pediatrician

Visually Significant Cataracts
Not all cataracts need operation !!!
only

Effect on Vision
• Older Children :
Check Visual acuity with various tests :
Kay Pictures, Keeler, “E” charts ,Snellen chart,etc
![Page 11: Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract- Biometry · 2018-03-09 · Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract-Biometry Agathi Kouri, FRCS Pediatric Ophthalmologist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070922/5fba4b21441281179d63146b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Preverbal children:
Check: fixation behavior
fixation preference
objection to occlusion
![Page 12: Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract- Biometry · 2018-03-09 · Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract-Biometry Agathi Kouri, FRCS Pediatric Ophthalmologist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070922/5fba4b21441281179d63146b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Younger infants with poorly developed fixation:
- Check red reflex
- Ask about the visual interaction of the child
at home with the family members
![Page 13: Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract- Biometry · 2018-03-09 · Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract-Biometry Agathi Kouri, FRCS Pediatric Ophthalmologist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070922/5fba4b21441281179d63146b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Warning Signs
• Fixation pattern: not central, steady, maintained
• Nystagmus
• Strabismus
• Changes in behaviour
![Page 14: Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract- Biometry · 2018-03-09 · Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract-Biometry Agathi Kouri, FRCS Pediatric Ophthalmologist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070922/5fba4b21441281179d63146b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Observe – Treat Amblyopia
• peripheral lens opacities
• punctate opacities with intervening clear zones
• opacities less than 3 mm in diameter
![Page 15: Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract- Biometry · 2018-03-09 · Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract-Biometry Agathi Kouri, FRCS Pediatric Ophthalmologist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070922/5fba4b21441281179d63146b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Examples:
• anterior polar and pyramidal cataracts : significant progressive corneal astigmatism, which can lead to decreased visual acuity and amblyopia.
• small central opacities, a larger area of clear visual axis can be achieved by pharmacological dilatation

Time to operate
Congenital cataracts :
• Bilateral : first 10 weeks of life
• Unilateral: 4-6 weeks of life
Irreversible Stimulus – deprivation amblyopia
![Page 17: Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract- Biometry · 2018-03-09 · Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract-Biometry Agathi Kouri, FRCS Pediatric Ophthalmologist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070922/5fba4b21441281179d63146b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Congenital Cataracts
• Primary IOL implantation in Infants (gaining acceptance)
• Survey: approximately 70% of the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus members worldwide preferred to implant an IOL in children

IOL power
• Aim -> Emmetropia later in life
• Target -> Hypermetropia after operation
![Page 22: Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract- Biometry · 2018-03-09 · Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract-Biometry Agathi Kouri, FRCS Pediatric Ophthalmologist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070922/5fba4b21441281179d63146b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
IOL choice
Consider:
• myopic shift after surgery (specially first 18months of life)
• predict eye growth
• accurate biometry Weakley et al. Ophthalmology 2017

Eye Growth
• Pediatric eyes are different from adult eyes
• Major Changes in Axial Length, Corneal Curvature and Lens Dioptric Power within the first 18/12 of life
• Changes continue lesser degree throughout childhood

Myopic Shift
• Induced by axial elongation following infantile cataract surgery cannot be fully offset by corneal flattening resulting in overall myopic shift.
• Myopic shift 5 years after IOL implantation in the Infant AphakiaTreatment Study: 43 eyes undergoing unilateral IOL implantation when 1 to 6 months of age. From one month after cataract surgery until approximately 1½ years of age the rate of myopic shift was 0.35 D/ month and after 1.5 years of age this decreased to 0.08 D/month.

Eye Growth – Emmetropization = Natural procedure
Myopic Shift = induced by cataract operation
Undercorrection – Aim for Hypermetropia
![Page 29: Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract- Biometry · 2018-03-09 · Preoperative evaluation of the child with cataract-Biometry Agathi Kouri, FRCS Pediatric Ophthalmologist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070922/5fba4b21441281179d63146b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Empiric rule
• under the age of 3 months are left +8.00 D,
• 3 months to 1 year +6.00 D,
• 1–2 years +4.00 D,
• 2–3 years +3.00 D,
• 3–5 years +2.00 D,
• 5–7 years +1.00 D,
• 7 years and after +0.5 D until the age of 11 years
These numbers may be modified in unilateral cases, depending upon the refraction of the other eye, so as to cause minimal anisometropia 2 years after surgery.

Summary
• Congenital cataracts = most challenging pediatric cataracts
• Not all cataracts need operation
• IOL power = aim for hypermetropia
