title: Results and complications of secondary intraocular lens implantation.
abstract: The results and the postoperative complications of 107 secondary intraocular lens implantations were reviewed over a two-year period. In 84.1% of the cases, postoperative visual acuity was the same or better than preoperative visual acuity with aphakic glasses or contract lenses. The most frequent postoperative complications were secondary glaucoma, six cases (5.6%); cystoid macular edema, five cases (4.6%); and bullous keratopathy, three cases (2.8%).
