title: [Early results after intraocular lens implantation (author's transl)].
abstract: Within the past 12 months, 64 intraocular lenses were implanted. Only eyes close to emmetropia and not exhibiting any pathological condition were considered for this type of surgery. The average age of our patients was 76 years. Preoperative medication and surgical procedure are described. Serious postoperative complications have not been observed so far. Striate keratopathy (in 22% of the cases), as well as secondary glaucoma (in 11% of the cases) were restricted to the initial 4-5 postoperative days. In 73% of the cases the postoperative visual acuity was 6/8-6/6. Maculopathy and opacification of the posterior lens capsule left behind were responsible for reduced visual acuity in the remaining cases.
