title: [Implantation of UV-absorbing posterior chamber lenses].
abstract: The authors report on their experience with UV-absorbent posterior chamber IOLs (ORC) implanted between April 1, 1984 and April 1, 1985 (n = 125). Short-term complications and in particular post-operative sterile uveitis, corresponded to those in a group (n = 135) who had had regular PMMA lenses implanted. While no significant lowering of glare perception could be proved after implantation of the UV-block-lenses, color perception seemed to be more correct with these lenses. Because of the short observation time no significant statements can be made regarding the frequency of cystoid macular edema.
