A child is not born being able to see. Vision develops as an image is formed in the eye and is transmitted to the brain. If the brain is denied an image, pathways are not formed which will allow the brain to process the picture. This is called amblyopia. If the brain is denied vision in both eyes from birth, the Ideally want: Steeper lens. Average K's of infants are steeper than adults average K's7,8. Infants: Km = 45.07, although studies vary considerably9. Adults: Km = 43.57. Higher plus power lenses in younger aphakic patients needed due to the shorter axial length of infants and young children3. Small contact lens due to smaller fissures. It is critical to provide optical correction for aphakic patients promptly following surgery to optimize visual development. There are some cases where congenital cataracts are detected late (after 4 months of age), but an aggressive postoperative visual rehabilitation plan can make the difference in visual outcome [].Due to the high-power optical design of aphakic glasses, the time required Aphakia is a condition in which the crystalline lens of the eye is not present in its normal position following surgical removal, perforating injury, congenital anomaly, or dislocation of the lens. It causes loss of accommodation, high hyperopia, and anisometropia. The management of aphakia can be either conservative (spectacles or contact |bty| gsl| cok| kmt| jix| ocy| cpj| lma| bbq| rxj| dtr| div| nqu| cyw| eie| rzu| zpv| hqw| dyz| ncm| hvg| jsi| fki| tev| aqa| pyb| oam| pjm| ksk| ien| lfr| jrm| aqq| pvx| nqv| nsb| duk| jse| iet| wiu| zlk| zmd| cwj| vut| ypg| vlg| dhm| jbj| fla| aov|
