Abstract:
The results of implantations of 73 elastic silicone and 59 rigid intraocular lenses (IOL) to patients with traumatic cataracts are analyzed. Mathematical estimations of static and dynamic effects of IOLs of different specific weight on ocular tissues are presented. Implantation of elastic IOLs brings about a high rehabilitation effect and causes little complications, which is due to a low specific weight and the minimal injury inflicted to the tissues of the eye by such lenses.
