title: [Complications of secondary implantation in patients with aphakia].
abstract: We analyzed retrospectively the complications and visual results of 154 cases of secondary intraocular lens implantation. The follow-up ranged from 1 to 4 years (mean 2.8 years). Best corrected final post-operative visual acuity was better or the same as the best corrected preoperative vision in 95.5% of the eyes. Vision deteriorated in 7 eyes (4.5%): in 3 eyes because of cystoid macular edema, in 2 eyes because of retinal detachment, in 1 eye because of corneal decompensation and in 1 eye because of macular hole. The incidence of complications was 15.4%. We believe that, in carefully selected patients, secondary intraocular lens implantation is highly successful.
