چکیده

68 eyes in which Choyce Mark VIII anterior chamber lenses had been implanted were examined, all surgery having been performed by Mr. Choyce. The average time since implantation was 5-5 years aand in 85 per cent. of eyes the corrected visual acuity was 6/12 or better. Bullous keratopathy, corneal epithelial oedema, and peripheral anterior synechiae giving rise to glaucoma were the most serious complications. Visual result, binocular function, and patient satisfaction were generally very good.

This paper continues the assessment of the long-term merits and problems of intraocular acrylic lenses which was started by a consideration of the value of the Binkhorst iris clip lens in aphakia by Pearce (I972). The reduced degree of aniseikonia and the better opportunity for binocular vision when uniocular aphakia is corrected by an intraocular lens implant was emphasized by Girard, Friedman...

Lens implants (pseudophakoi) classified according to method of fixation.

LENS implants may be classified according to the position of the optical part (posterior chamber lens, anterior chamber lens, pupillary lens), the material used (acrylic, silicate glass, quartz, one-piece lens, two-material lens), and the method of fixation (Binkhorst, 1962a, b). As fixation is obtained by contact of the haptic part of the pseudophakos with the ocular tissues, the subsequent st...

Planned posterior assisted levitation in severe subluxated cataract: Surgical technique and clinical results

We report the surgical technique and outcome of planned posterior assisted levitation (P-PAL) in four cases of subluxated cataract. P-PAL was planned as the preferred approach in all cases. A spatula was inserted via the pars plana, the whole lens was lifted to the anterior chamber and then removed through a scleral tunnel incision. Anterior chamber intraocular lenses were implanted in all case...
