ResumoWe present a series of nine cases involving primary intraocular lens implantation in congenital cataracts. Because of the problems encountered with the technique used in the earlier cases, we developed a new surgical technique that may be described as primary epilenticular posterior chamber lens implantation followed by pars plana endocapsular lensectomy. This new technique ensures a clear pupillary area, minimizes postoperative complications, and ultimately prevents amblyopia, resulting in useful vision.
