Abstract
The successful outcome of treatment for infant and childhood cataract depends on many factors. It is crucial that the treatment falls into a phase in which neither the eye nor the visual pathway and visual cortex are fully developed. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge and provides an overview of the epidemiology, causes and clinical forms, early detection and, above all, treatment options. Special attention is paid to time-critical stages of development, according to which the therapeutic concepts are based. Complications, such as amblyopia and glaucoma are discussed in detail. In addition to surgical aspects, much emphasis is placed on orthoptic-refractive aftercare, the quality and execution of which is the essential predictor of a good functional outcome.
