    Ectopia lentis leads to lens displacement and visual impairment, often associated with conditions like Marfan syndrome.

  • 2

    Scleral-fixated intraocular lenses (IOLs) provide stable optical correction, reducing amblyopia risk compared to traditional management.

  • 3

    The study evaluates long-term outcomes of scleral-fixated IOLs in children, focusing on safety, visual stability, and refractive targets.

  • 4

    Preoperative assessments included genetic testing and optical biometry to guide IOL power calculations for pediatric patients.

  • 5

    Target refraction is individualized based on age, aiming for mild hyperopia to accommodate expected ocular growth in children.
