title: [Primary implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lens in eyes with posterior capsulorhexis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of anterior vitrectomy combined with primary implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lens for the capsulorhexis following cataract extraction.
  
  
  METHODS
  Anterior vitrectomy combined with primary implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lens was performed on 76 cases with capsulorhexis from 1 089 cases of cataract extraction. The surgical technique, postoperative visual acuity and postoperative complication were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The proportion, of which the corrected visual acuity was 0.5 or better one week and six months postoperatively, was 86.8% and 93.4% respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Anterior vitrectomy combined with primary implantation of intraocular lens for posterior capsulorhexis following cataract extraction is safe and effective.
