Results of 105 intra-ocular lens implantation

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the achievement of visual acuity and incidence of postoperative complications in extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implant. One hundred five cataract patients underwent extracapsular cataract extraction [E.C.C.E] with intraocular Lens [IOL] Implant from May 1994 to June 1996. Department of Ophthalmology, Unit-1, Eye Hospital, Liaquat Medical College Jamshoro/ Hyderabad. One hundred five cataract patients. Extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implant achieved best quality of vision with low incidence of postoperative complications. Of the 105 cataract patients 88.5% achieved visual acuity of 6/6 - 6/12. Postoperative complications were 3.80% corneal oedema, 3.80% herpes simplex keratitis, 2.85% secondary glaucoma, 0.95% Retinal Detachment, 2.85% Toxic Suture Syndrome, 0.95% cystoid macular oedema and 2.85% had thickening of posterior capsule. One hundred five cataract patients underwent extracapsular cataract extraction with I.O.L. Implant, 88.5% achieved visual acuity of 6/6 - 6/12 with low incidence of postoperative complications
