Abstract:
The clinical and statistical evaluations of 25 patients(29 eyes) with subluxated lenses which were extracted at St. Mary's hospital from October 1984 to June 1990. The results were as follows: 1. The average age was 41.3 years and the sex distribution was 23 males and 2 females. 2. The causes were divided by 17 eyes(58.6%) with trauma and 12 eyes(41.4%) without trauma. 3. The associated diseases were cataract(9 eyes; 31.0%), glaucoma(6 eyes; 20.7%), retinal detachment(4 eyes; 13.8%) and uveitis(2 eyes; 6.9%). 4. There were 9 eyes(31.0%) in superonasal, 4 eyes(13.8%) in inferotemporal direction of lens displacement. 5. The surgical procedures were intracapsular cataract extraction(22 eyes; 75.9% ), lens aspiration(3 eyes; 10.3% ), extracapsular cataract extraction(1 eye 3.5% ) and pars plana lensectomy with vitrectomy(3 eyes; 10.3%). 6. There were 9 eyes(28.0%) associated with vitreous protrusion and the vitrectomy were done in 20 eyes(62.5% ). 7. Postoperative corrected visual acuity improved fairly. It was the same as preoperative corrected visual acuity in 7 eyes(24.1%), improved in 21 eyes(72.4%) and worse in 1 eye(3.4%).
