[Monocular and binocular vision following lens implantation in traumatic cataract].
Lens implantation after surgery for traumatic cataract is a major help in rehabilitating the patient. Most such patients are still at work. Surgical problems result from injuries to the cornea, iris, lens, and vitreous body. If possible a posterior chamber lens should be implanted in the bag. In 35 patients, 24 posterior chamber lenses and 11 anterior chamber lenses were implanted. In 27 cases the traumatic cataract had been caused by perforating injury and in eight by contusion. In 28 patients there was a significant improvement in visual acuity by the day they were discharged. At short focus more than one-half of the patients had simultaneous vision with striated glasses, and two-fifths at long focus. Two-fifths of all patients attained stereoscopic vision at both short and long focus. The binocular functions were worse in most of the cases where the visual acuity of the injured eye was 0.4 or less.
