title: [6 months results of a randomized multicenter study comparing 2 silicone intraocular lenses with a PMMA intraocular lens].
abstract: Of the 1,158 eyes operated on for cataracts in 1993, 815 were implanted with two types of silicon PC IOLs (90 D, Adatomed or C 10, Chiron) or a one-piece PMMA IOL according to a randomized scheme. These eyes were followed up 4-6 months after surgery. More than 90% of all eyes showed a best-corrected VA of 20/40 or better, and the amount of postoperative complications was low and equally distributed following implantation of all three types of IOLs.
