title: Intraocular lens implantation: a review.
abstract: Intraocular lens implantation has been developing over the past 15 years in Europe and is now becoming popular in the United States. Lens materials and designs as well as surgical techniques are still being evaluated. The overall results are excellent, with a small increase in complications being the price paid for a dramatic increase in visual rehabilitation.
