title: Current status of cataract surgery--a review of personal experience.
abstract: One hundred and five eyes treated consecutively over a 5 year period for senile cataract by extracapsular extraction and posterior chamber lens (PC) implantation were compared with 112 consecutive eyes taken from a prospective study which had extracapsular surgery and iridocapsular lens implantation and had been followed from 4 to 7 years. At 1 year the visual acuity of eyes of the two groups were similar but a trend suggests better results in the PC groups. The PC group also had fewer serious complications and less endothelial cell loss.
