title: Contact lens in aphakia.
abstract: Aphakia may be said to be the best reason for contact lenses. All types are used--(hard) corneal lenses, soft lenses both for daily and extended wear, and even (hard) scleral lenses in exce,tional cases. At present all have their problems so that, although on theoretical grounds an extended wear lens would be ideal, the corneal lens is probably still the lens of choice.
