Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The relatively high incidence of complications of anterior chamber implants has encouraged ophthalmologists to implant in the posterior chamber, even in eyes without posterior capsules. A new surgical technique for implantation of posterior chamber lenses in the ciliary sulcus is described. Twenty posterior chamber lenses were implanted in eyes which had had intracapsular cataract extraction, with a follow-up ranging from three to 14 months (mean 7.4 months). Although no serious complications occurred in this small series, the safety and viability of this technique will be established with a longer follow-up.
