Abstract:
There are three different kinds of aphakic corrections as glasses, contact lens and intraocular lens. In this paper we analyse the 20 aphakic patients who had operations during the past four years in our hospital by the intracapsular cataract extraction technique. 10 patients(50%) are using aphakic glasses and 8 patients(40%) are contact lens wearers and remained 2 person are non-corrected monocular aphakics. Among the CL wearers most of them have occupations. Glass wearers are increased in number parallel with the increasing their ages. Most of the aphakic patients have good visual corrections and satisfied with their present corrective measures.
