Binocular effects of intraocular lens insertion.
Observation of fifty patients submitted to primary Binkhorst intraocular lens insertion for uniocular cataract has shown that 88% regained 6/12 or better visual acuity in the operated eye. All but three patients with healthy fellow eyes and a good visual result from surgery regained orthotropia and some binocular functions promptly without squint surgery, but formal tests of stereoacuity were poorly performed. The best clinical guide to binocular performance for near vision was found to be Lang's pen test.
