title: [Intraocular lens implantation in Fuchs' syndrome].
abstract: 10 patients of Fuchs' syndrome underwent ECCE with IOL implantation. The etiopathology of this disease, the prevention and management of intra- and post-operative complications were discussed. Three months after the operation, the rate of corneal endothelial cell loss was 23.96%. After an average follow-up of 20 months, 80% of the cases obtained corrected visual acuity of 0.5 and over, indicating that the procedure had been rewarding and safe.
