Purpose: To compare two pediatric cataract surgery procedures: intraocular lens (IOL) optic capture without anterior vitrectomy (AV) and in-the-bag IOL implantation with AV. Setting: Ege University Medical School Hospital, Izmir, Turkey. Design: Prospective randomized control clinical trial. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: optic capture without AV (Group 1) or in-the-bag implantation with AV (Group 2). The following variables were compared: visual acuity, intraocular pressure, refractive errors, IOL tilt and decentration, lenticular astigmatism, anterior-posterior synechia, inflammatory cell deposits on IOL and post-operative complications.
