Primary in tcaocular lens implantation visual results

ABSTRACT

Visual acuity results at one year follow-up in 195 patients with primary in traocular lens implantation [lOLl] are presented. From 186 eyes with extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber lOLl, 94.62% have visual acuity of 20/40 or more. Eyes with posterior chamber IOL have better visual acuity [94.62%] than anterior chamber IOL [88.88%]. Elderly patients have a 92.5% chance of visual recovery due to macular degeneration. Poor prognosis for improved visual acuity [88.6%] in young patients is mainly due to posterior capsular opacity, which is curable
