Secondary posterior chamber intraocular lens implants.
Secondary posterior chamber lens implants were performed on sixty-nine patients. Although technically the insertions were slightly more difficult than in a primary case, the results were excellent. Only one eye had vision significantly lower than preoperative level, and this, only a drop from 20/25 to 20/40. Three eyes required a second procedure to suture the lens. One eye suffered detachment later with count fingers vision as the final result.
