The major advantages of optic capture of IOL in pediatric cataract surgery are centration, prevention of herniation of vitreous anteriorly, and prevention of migration of Elschnig pearls on the vitreous face. So vitrectomy can be avoided. This reduces the incidences of VAO and postoperative inflammation. But it requires expertise and so a long learning curve. The results may be comparable, but success of a technique depends on how easily it can be replicated by other surgeons. On that front, probably this technique is at a disadvantage.
