The contact lens was prescribed to 64 cases, 38 of which having postsurgical monolateral aphakia. The lens extraction was made in 28 cases with traumatic cataract, 7 cases with complicated cataract and 3 cases with monolateral congenital cataract. The application of contact lens was made from two months to three years after the cataract operation; 6 patients wore before the surgical act usual glasses to correct the aphakia.
