    The study compares Cionni ring capsular bag fixation and Yamane technique scleral fixation for intraocular lens implantation in pediatric patients.

    A total of 29 eyes from 21 patients were included, all undergoing lens extraction and IOL implantation in a single surgical session.

    Surgical techniques were chosen based on capsular integrity, with Cionni rings preferred for intact capsular bags and Yamane for inadequate support.

    The study highlights the challenges of managing zonular weakness in children, emphasizing the need for effective long-term IOL stability.
