How Does the Procedure Differ from Adult IOL Implantation?
While the basic principles of IOL implantation are similar, there are key differences when performing the procedure in neonates. The surgical approach may need to be modified due to the smaller size and fragility of the neonatal eye. Anesthesia considerations are also different, as infants require general anesthesia. Postoperative care involves more frequent monitoring to detect and manage complications promptly.
