Results of glass intraocular lens insertion.
Glass lenses were inserted in ten eyes. Nine eyes achieved 6/12 or better visual acuity. No complications related to the intraocular lens were encountered. Because of our satisfactory initial results we feel that glass intraocular lens implantation may be considered as an alternative, especially in eyes with corneal opacity or diabetic retinopathy.
