[The results of a method of intraocular correction]

At the present time, intraocular correction is the most optimal up-to-date method of medical and professional rehabilitation of patients with cataract and aphakia, ensuring high functional possibilities of the eye. Now above 300 models of intraocular lenses are known, and the searches continue to find the optimal one as well as its localization in the eye. Most of ophthalmologists consider the best site to be the posterior chamber. The paper analyses results after implantation of four intraocular lens models (anterior chamber, iris-clip, posterior chamber with fixation in the ciliary sulcus or in the lens capsule) in 157 patients, the follow-up period ranging from 3 months to 4 years. High visual acuity, 0.6-1.0 was achieved in 96.8% of patients. The observations have shown that, if stable position of the implant in the eye is achieved at the time of operation and if the patients are properly treated after implantation and followed up for a long-term period, the possibilities of severe complications in the eye are considerably reduced.
