This is the first reference textbook to address the considerable challenges of managing cataracts in children.

Newly emerging topics, such as temporary polypseudophakia, multifocal lenses, implant biocompatibility, intracapsular rings, and the use of capsular dyes in pediatric cataract surgery, are discussed in detail.
