title: [Posterior chamber lens implantation after removal of an intralens metallic foreign body].
abstract: This paper presents a case report of posterior chamber lens implantation after a perforating eye injury. We failed to extract the foreign body with a hand magnet and to close the capsule wound by application of a fibrin tissue adhesive. The posterior capsule was intact, and hence we performed an extracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of a posterior chamber lens. The foreign body was expressed together with the nucleus. The functional result is satisfactory.
