The new soft intraocular lens implant.
The 29 cases using the Type E soft implant demonstrated that: 1. This implant is acceptable to the eye. 2. Good visual acuity can be obtained from a soft implant. 3. Postoperative course is characterized by minimal reaction. 4. This intraocular implant design is acceptable to the eye and stable within it. As with any new procedure, the actual facts are only known after a number of years of experience. The potential long-term success of the soft implant opens up a new vista in the field of intraocular lens implantation. We hope that our continuing efforts will prove useful in approaching the goal of perfect sight following cataract surgery.
