[Secondary implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses].

PURPOSE: Is to establish the possibilities of secondary implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses, complications and functional results obtained.

MATERIAL AND METHOD: We revied 26 aphakic eyes which were secondary implanted with posterior chamber intraocular lenses ş PC IoL).

RESULTS

At 16 eyes were implanted standard PC IaL and at 1 o eyes we used scleral fixation PC IoL. Early postoperative complications of standard PC IoL were: uveitis in 4 eyes, dislocation at one case and late postoperative complications were: bulous keratopathy in one eye, secondary cataract in 4 eyes and at 3 eyes dislocations. At scleral fixation PC IQL we had in the early postoperative period secondary glaucoma in 2 eyes and in the late period one eye had retinal detchement and in 2 eyes persist ocular hypertonia.

CONCLUSIONS

Posterior chamber intraocular lenses is the optimal solution in correction of aphakia.
