[General guidelines for the implantation of prepupillary lenses. (author's transl)].

The general guidelines for the implantation of prepupillary lenses concern the patient (right of impartial orientation, right of decision with regard to the nature of the future aphakic prosthesis), the ophthalmologist (duty of relevant orientation, duty to accept the patient's decision) and the ophthalmo-surgeon (right to reject an implantation). Following a thorough training in implant surgery general conditions, such as technical and personnel means have carefully to be estimated before starting with the implantation of intraocular lenses.
