Without vision correction after cataract surgery, the eye will have poor eyesight and the normal development of infant vision will be affected.<\/p><p>Opinions also vary on whether an artificial lens should be surgically placed on a baby&#8217;s eye after cataract surgery due to concerns that it may affect the normal development of the eye and complications of using it. An intraocular lens may also need to be removed and replaced as your child grows up due to possible changes in vision.<\/p><p>In some cases, contact lenses placed on the surface of the eye (cornea) may be used to help restore vision after removing the natural lens during cataract surgery. Also, glasses may be prescribed to help vision instead of amounted artificial lens or contact lens.<\/p><p>If our optician or pediatric ophthalmologist recommends contact lenses to you after a congenital cataract surgery, contact lenses of usually prolonged use will be prescribed to simplify the care and handling of contact lenses.<\/p><p>You will receive training from ouroptician or our pediatric ophthalmologist on how to put on and remove your child&#8217;s lenses.
