Clinical experience with soft intraocular lens implantation

Abstract

A retrospective study of 205 consecutive, planned extracapsular cataract extractions with posterior chamber silicone elastomer lens implants inserted in the ciliary sulcus region were examined between six and 23 months postoperatively. When the patients with preexisting pathology were excluded, the percentage of patients seeing 20/40 or better was 94.1%. The postoperative complications included intraocular lens dislocation in two cases, cystoid macular edema in one case, and secondary glaucoma in one case.
