title: [Experiences with cryoextraction of the lens from the vitreous body in 123 cases].
abstract: In 123 cases of lens luxation the lens was removed from the vitreous by cryoextraction. It was a success in 119 cases, always intracapsular, and in the majority of cases without or only with a minimal loss of vitreous. A vitrectomy or vitreous suction was never necessary. Evaluating these results, one would advise to employ this procedure early before an advanced vitreous destruction may occur.
