title: [On the history of intraocular lenses (author's transl)].
abstract: A short review on the world-wide and Swiss history of the three generations of intraocular lenses is recorded: the implantation of posterior and anterior chamber lenses is completely given up in Switzerland. Prepupillary 2- and 4-loop-lenses of the Binkhorst type are used at the Lucerne Eye Hospital since 1973. A major brakethrough of artificial lens'implantation in Switzerland is expected in 1979.
