Abstract:
From Oct. 1985 to Mar. 1987, 141 cases of intraocuiar lenses were implanted, and 121 cases had been followed up for more than 2 months. The results were as follows: 1. Surgical technique is planned extracapsular cataract extraction(ECCE) in 81 eyes, Kelman phacoemulsification(KPE) in 21 eyes, Irrigation and Aspiration in 12 eyes, secondary implant in 4 eyes. 2. Post operative visual acuity of 0.5 or better was achieved in 112 eyes(92.5%) and or better in 75 eyes(61.9%). Average of visual acuity was 0.90 +/- 0.25 in toto, 0.88 +/- 0.24 in planned ECCE, 0.96 +/- 0.22 in KPE, 0.92 +/- 0.24 in others. There was not significant carrelation between planned EOCE and KPE(p<0.005). 3. The mean spherical equivalent of post operative corrective spectacle lens power was -0.59 +/- 1.13 in toto, -0.57 +/- 0.92 in planned ECCE. -0.85 +/- 1.13 in KPE. 4. Post operative repractive state was myopic in 98 eyes(80%), emetropic in 10 eyes(8%) and hyperopic in 9 eyes(7%).
