Gift of Sight.. Simultaneous bilateral infantile cataract surgery and IOL implantation done at SuVi Eye Hospital Kota by Dr Suresh K Pandey. Thanks, Dr Vijay Goyal for excellent anesthetic support while operating such cases. Pediatric cataracts found to affect 15 out of every 10,000 births in India. Childhood cataracts are due to infections contracted during pregnancy, congenital defects, and development defects. Pediatric cataract is detected only when children start pre-school or primary school and it becomes obvious that they are not able to see clearly. This makes it one of the most undetected of diseases and is the reason that childhood blindness is so common in India. India has 2,80,000 to 3,20,000 visually impaired children, and childhood cataracts account for nearly 14 percent of the cases. Early detection and surgical intervention of significant cataracts is important to ensure restoration of sight. Simultaneous bilateral Pediatric cataract surgery carries a lot of advantages such as single-time exposure to General anesthesia, clear visual axis in both eyes, and installation of eye drops in both eyes. However, every precaution should be taken to avoid the risk of endophthalmitis by using different sets of instruments for both eyes. #InfantileCataractSurgery #PediatricCataractSurgery #SimultaneousBilateralPediateicCataractSurgery #DrSureshKPandeyKota #DrVidushiSharmaKota #SuViEyeHospitalKota #viralreels
