[Binocular functions in unilateral pseudophakia]

71 patients (average age 64 years) were examined for binocular vision after unilateral posterior chamber lens implantation. Average visual acuity in the pseudophacic as well as the phacic eyes was 0.8. Intact stereoscopic dose-up and long-distance vision was found in 85% of the cases. Patients with vertical phorias or moderately decreased visual acuity more often presented impaired binocular functions. Further investigations will be carried out.
