ABSTRACT
In Belo Horizonte, Brazil, 70 eyes of 53 leprosy patients had extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation done during a period of four years. The authors analyzed the outcome regarding restoration of vision and complications after this procedure. The visual acuity improved in 92.9% of the eyes and in 65.7% the acuity had improved by four lines or more on the Snellen chart. The post-operative complications could not be associated only to leprosy infiltration; in any case, they were not too serious and could be controlled.
