title: The Hessburg flexible anterior chamber intraocular lens.
abstract: This report describes the technique of implantation of the Hessburg anterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL). It also documents the complications and results in 240 patients. This lens appears to be a satisfactory anterior chamber IOL for use in patients who have had intracapsular cataract extraction. It has been used in eight patients for secondary lens implantation with satisfactory results. The present report must be considered preliminary, as follow-up was between three and twelve months.
