Correction of aphakia with intraocular lens implants

40 cases of intraocular lens implants are reported. 33% had an optimal post-operative vision of greater than 1.0; 56% and larger than or equal to 0.9 and 84% 0.5 or better. After a postoperative follow-up of 1 month to 32 months, mean 15.1 months, the patients were all satisfied with the pseudophakic eye, and no endothelial corneal dystrophy, chronic uveitis or glaucoma was detected. Several minor post-operative complications were seen, most without consequence. One case had recurrent iridial haemorrhages.
