title: Aborted posterior chamber intraocular lens insertions: a "second Choyce".
abstract: We reviewed 1,200 patients who had had extracapsular cataract extraction prior to implantation of a posterior chamber lens. Intraoperative contraindication to posterior chamber lens insertion arose in one hundred seven cases. These patients received anterior chamber lenses and their results were generally the same as similar complicated cases that have been reported.
