1. 1. Congenital cataract and contact lenses

   Författare :Sara De Lima; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Purpose: Having a child with congenital cataract is associated with a huge responsibility for the parents in terms of the outcome of their child’s visual development. If the cataract is not removed the condition will lead to lifelong visual impairment and the surgery is preferably preformed within the first three months of life. LÄS MER

3. 2. Outcome after surgery of congenital cataract

   Författare :Anna Lundvall; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Congenital cataract; cataract surgery; intraocular lens; infant; paediatric; rabbit; complication; glaucoma; after-cataract; posterior capsule opacification.;

   Sammanfattning : The visual outcome in infants undergoing surgery for bilateral congenital cataract has improved considerably because of improved surgical methods and the realisation that early detection, allowing early cataract extraction and immediate optical correction, can prevent otherwise irreversible deprivation amblyopia. The management of unilateral congenital cataract is still of the most difficult problems in paediatric ophtalmology. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Diabetes mellitus in pregnancy causes congenital malformations in the offspring.The aim of this work was to characterize biochemical and morphologic anomaliesin the conceptus of an animal model of diabetic pregnancy. In addition, apreventive treatment against diabetes-induced dysmorphogenesis was developed. LÄS MER

5. 4. On the necessity of screening and national registration of congenital cataracts

   Författare :Gunilla Magnusson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :congenital cataract; glaucoma; intraocular surgery; posterior capsular opacification PCO ; prevalence; visual acuity VA ; visual impairment; screening; newborn examination; blindness prevention; cost-utility analysis; quality- adjusted life year QALY ;

   Sammanfattning : Objectives: The overall aim of this thesis was to contribute to improvements in the management of congenital cataract by defining the most efficient screening procedure, examining the magnitude of the morbidity rate, optimizing the timing of surgery by relating surgical outcome to age at intervention and severity of visual deprivation and furthermore by evaluating costs versus consequences of introducing the most efficient screening procedure found, on a national basis.Methods: Paper I: 72 children born between 1992 and 1998 in the Stockholm County Council region, Västra Götaland and Halland county, Linköping-Motala, Malmö, and Lund, who had surgery for congenital cataract before the age of one year were included in a retrospective study.

   Sammanfattning : Purpose: To find and validate methods for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of complications in paediatric cataract surgery. Background: Cataract and glaucoma are major treatable blinding conditions in children. LÄS MER
