ABSTRACT
Twenty cases who had underwent extracapsular cataract extraction with pupilloplasty followed by implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCL) were followed up more than 3 months from May 1989 to April 1991. Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity was improved in all cases. Corrected visual acuity was 20/40 or better in 13 cases (65% of all cases) and refractive state was myotic (-1.1D in average) at 2 months after operation. Postoperative astigmatism was -1.3D in average at 2 months after operation, which became -0.8D in average at 1 year after operation. Postoperatively vitreous prolapse occured in 1 case and increased intraocular pressure due to posterior synechiae was observed in 1 case. After-catract developed in 1 case. We obtained good clinical results after ECCE and PCL implantation in leprosy patients for whom wearing the contact lens and glasses were impractical due to hand and finger deformities.
