[10,000 implants of artificial intraocular lenses at the Ophthalmology Department of the Regional Hospital in Banská Bystrica].
Since December 6, 1979 till October 31, 1995 at the Ophthalmological Department of the Regional hospital (now F.D. Roosevelt's Eye Clinic) in Banská Bystrica 10,000 artificial intraocular lenses were implanted. The author reminds in a historical review of the initial pioneer work and implantations implemented by Vanýsek et al. in 1951-1960. After 20 years the author took up the tradition and implanted on December 6, 1979 the first iris clip Fjodorov-Zacharov lens. Since 1979 every year the number of implantations in the department rises. Since 1985 almost only various models of posterior chamber intraocular lenses are implanted. As to unconventional materials hydrogel and silicone lenses were implanted, first after extracapsular cataract extraction and later in the folded state after phacoemulsification. At present modern surgery of cataract and implantation of artificial intraocular lenses in made as a matter of routine in the majority of departments in the Czech and Slovak Republic.
