title: [Phacoemulsification of the subluxated lens with cataract].
abstract: 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.
