AUTHORS' REPLY

摘要

We thank Drs. Ziakas and Vartholomaiou for their comments and interest in our article.We congratulate the authors for their experience concerning bilateral surgery in congenital cataract and we thank them for their contribution to our future work with new suggestions.We would like to give the authors some comments concerning surgical approaches. After 2 years of age, in the examined patients, vitrectomy is not performed. We perform posterior capsulorrhexis and anterior vitrectomy until age 5. We are interested in the percentage of posterior capsular opacification in Drs. Ziakas and Vartholomaiou's patients. Furthermore, we believe that YAG laser treatment is not as safe as anterior vitrectomy. We are interested in Drs. Ziakas and Vartholomaiou's results or observations on YAG laser in very small babies. In patients with bilateral cataracts, as noted in our article, we usually perform a simultaneous bilateral lens extraction, followed by a secondary IOL implantation at around age 3.
