title: [Ocular implantation and exfoliative syndrome].
abstract: Operative difficulties and post operative complications after posterior chamber lens implantation are described in 27 eyes with exfoliation syndrome, 8 simple exfoliation syndromes and 19 capsular glaucoma. 14 eyes were operated on by extracapsular extraction and posterior chamber lens implantation in the capsular bag; 13 eyes had extracapsular cataract implantation combined with trabeculectomy. Operative difficulties were due to bad mydriasis and zonular laxity. There was no zonular dialysis. Post-operative visual acuity was between 20/40 and 20/20 in 70% of the cases. There was nos lens luxation. Intercapsular implantation is possible without great risk. The risk of zonular rupture occurs principally during extracapsular extraction. Implants 4 to 12 times Lighter than a cataract human lens do not seem to be dangerous when there is no peroperative zonular rupture.
