The aim of the current study was to assess the results of cataract surgery involving implantation of foldable intraocular lenses in children. Cataract surgery with foldable lenses was performed in 60 children. Postoperative visual acuity, endothelial cell density, corneal pachymetry, postoperative astigmatism and complications were analyzed. Quick visual recovery was observed in children after surgery. Only a few postoperative complications occurred. The foldable intraocular lenses are easy to insert. The surgical procedure with foldable lens implantation is a useful and safe method of treatment.
