There is a lot of uncertainty concerning intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for pediatric cataracts. The appropriate age which ocular abnormalities are contraindications and according to which formula IOL should be calculated are controversial. In addition to the imperative of identifying postoperative complications, such as secondary cataract formation and secondary glaucoma in a sufficiently timely manner, a modern management of aphakia with refractive compensation and occlusion is necessary. Some easy rules can help prevent pitfalls.
