Intraocular lenses--current status.
An attempt is made to depolarize current positions regarding intraocular implant lens surgery by presenting a reasonable list of advantages and disadvantages of the procedure. A current position on this controversial subject is presented and is based on currently available knowledge. Although this is a personal view, it is hoped that a middle ground can be created which would be acceptable to advocates and opponents of lens implant surgery.
