Intraocular lens exchange for the management of myopic shift in pseudophakic children

A significant and/or an unpredicted myopic shift following pediatric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation contributes to the difficulties in visual rehabilitation of pseudophakic children. Standard management using spectacles is usually recommended for small degrees of myopic shift. However, larger degrees of myopic shift might warrant surgical intervention. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of IOL exchange for the management of myopic shift in pseudophakic children.
