title: [Endocapsular cataract extraction with in-the-bag IOL implantation].
abstract: The authors performed in-the-bag IOL implantation in 34 eyes after endocapsular cataract extraction. The surgical key points, the complications and their management were discussed. The postoperative visual acuity s. c. was 0.5 or better n 23 eyes (67.6%), the corrected vision was 0.5 or better in all patients. The advantages of endocapsular cataract extraction are (1) ensured in-the-bag implantation and optical centering, (2) diminution of surgical complications, and (3) ready resort to posterior chamber IOL in the ciliary sulcus should the posterior capsule rupture.
