Abstract
Silicone elastic intraocular lens implants (STAAR Model B) were implanted in 18 human eyes following extracapsular cataract extraction by phacoemulsification. Visual acuity of 20/40 or better was obtained in 17 eyes which had no preexisting pathology. Implants decentered and tilted in five of six eyes in which implants were placed in the bag. This was the only significant complication observed and is prevented by avoiding in-the-bag placement of the implant.Keywords
