This talk gives an overview of the actual data about the correction of infant aphakia with rigid gas‐permeable contact lenses. The advantages and disadvantages of the use of rigid gas‐permeable contact lenses after congenital cataract surgery will be discussed. Also, we will present our own data regarding the visual outcome of aphakic children treated with rigid gas‐permeable contact lenses.
