[Congenital cataract extraction with primary posterior chamber IOL implantation].
Congenital cataracts in 41 eyes were extracted with primary implantation of posterior chamber IOLs, of which 35 were the one-piece PMMA variety. The patients were followed up 3-28 months, averaging 9.5 months. Corrected visual acuities of 1.0-1.5 were achieved in 29.3% and 0.5 or better in 85.4% of the eyes. Postoperative complications were few. Among 34 eyes of preoperative low vision, visual acuities of 0.3 or over were restored to 31 eyes (91.2%) immediately after the operation.
