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.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The prevalence of visual axis opacification | Eyes were evaluated for presence of visual axis opacification at the slit lamp examinations. | through study completion, an average of 2 years |
| The prevalence of inflammatory deposits on Intraocular lens surface | Eyes were evaluated presence of inflammatory deposits between the margins of capsulorhexis at the slit lamp examinations. | through study completion, an average of 2 years |
| The prevalence of anterior-posterior synechia | Eyes were evaluated for presence of anterior-posterior synechia at the slit lamp examinations. | through study completion, an average of 2 years |
| Measurements of Intraocular lens tilt and decentration. | Measurement of Intraocular lens (IOL) position at vertical and horizontal meridians at the Scheimpflug images captured with corneal topography. Scheimpflug images were obtained (Pentacam HR, Oculus Optikgerate Gmbh, Wetzlar, Germany) at one postoperative year. The horizontal and vertical meridians' photographs were analyzed.These images were processed in AutoCAD LT 2020 2D CAD software for IOL position assessment.(1) IOL Center: Two arches were drawn that fit perfectly on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the IOL. The points where these two arcs met were marked. Between these intersection points, a line was drawn. The midpoint of this line was accepted as the IOL center. (2) IOL Decentration: It was determined by measuring the distance (mm) from the IOL center point to the pupillary axis. (3) IOL Tilt: Angle (degree) between the IOL axis and the line passing through the iridocorneal angle. | at the postoperative one-year |
| Prediction error | Refraction prediction error (PE) was found by subtracting the early post-operative refraction from the pre-operative target refraction. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Intraocular pressure | Intraocular pressure was measured by Tonopen (Reichart Technologies, Depew, NY), Perkins handheld Mk2 tonometry (Haag-Streit, Koeniz, Switzerland) or Goldmann applanation tonometry (Haag Streit, Koeniz, Switzerland), considering the patient's age and compliance. | at the postoperative one year |
