title: [Evaluating the postoperative depth of the anterior chamber in primary extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation].
abstract: To evaluate the depth postoperatively of the anterior chamber, a second biometry by ultrasound was done in 100 eyes 6-12 months after cataract extraction and IOL implantation (sulcus fixation). The aim was to compare the depth of the anterior chamber preoperatively with that measured postoperatively. The measurement showed a middle anterior chamber depth of 3.42 mm preoperatively and 3.67 mm postoperatively. This means that there was a mean increase in the anterior chamber depth of 0.25 mm.
