Postnucleation orbital implants.

A follow-up study of a group of 40 patients after the enucleation completed by the intra-orbital acrylic spherical magnetic implant (Roper-Hall style) is presented. The mean postoperative observation time is 3.3 years. Late complications were present in two patients: the extrusion of the implant in one of them was probably caused by his poor state due to chronic dialysis, while the traumatic luxation of the implant in the other was surgically repaired. Postoperative results in all other patients were satisfactory with the adequate orbital volume substitution and the ability of the prosthesis to twist and turn in any axis without fitting problems.

[Comparative analysis of the results after implantation of a "one piece" and other types of intraocular lenses]. / Usporedna analiza rezultata nakon implantacije "one piece" i drugih modela intraokularnih leca.

The authors analysed the results obtained in 100 patients with the "one piece" posterior chamber lens and compared them with those in 85 patients with soft haptics. All procedures followed the extracapsular cataract extraction. The incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications was compared. Special attention was paid to the positioning of the implant after a period of at least 6 months. The advantages of "one piece" implant lenses were established and better postoperative results obtained in this group of patients.
