[Experiences with different artificial lenses]

Since 1977 intraocular lenses of 4 different types have been implanted in a total of 963 eyes at Frankfurt University Eye Clinic: the 4-loop lens (Binkhorst), the 2-loop lens (Binkhorst) and the posterior chamber lenses designed by Shearing and Simcoe. Implantation of a posterior chamber lens after extracapsular cataract extraction produced very good results with no severe complications.
