[Phacoemulsification of the subluxated lens with cataract].
OBJECTIVE
To study the efficiency of phacoemulsification in the treatment of subluxated lens with cataract.


METHODS
Phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation was performed on 19 eyes of 18 patients.


RESULTS
The visual acuity in 18 eyes was improved to different degrees. The visual acuity in one eye was not improved due to the preoperative macular contusion.


CONCLUSIONS
Phacoemulsification for treatment of subluxated lens with cataract may decrease many complications occurring in the past procedure.
