Abstract:
The study involved 57 patients (61 eyes), including 32 males and 25 females who underwent intra- or extra-capsular lens removal and who were candidates for artificial lens placement. The result showed that artificial lens can be placed by one of two ways: placed in anterior chamber or trans-scleral suture fixation of artificial lens for eyes where the posterior capsule is absent or ruptured. Postoperative outcomes are encouraging. At 6 months after operation, the vision is less than 0.1 in 24 eyes; between 0.1 to 0.4 in 32 eyes; more than 0.05 in 4 eyes and one eye have unmeasurable vision. At 3 months after operation, intraocular pressure is less than 25 mmHg in 28 eyes and more than 25 mmHg in 3 eyes.
