[Special indications, contraindications, particular methods of treatment in correction with intraocular lenses (author's transl)].

For the past 5 3/4 years intraocular lens implantion belongs to the routine operations performed in the Lucerne Eye Clinic. Whereas unilateral cataracts are the main and frequent indication for intraocular lens implants, there are certain cases of uni- and bilateral cataracts also, where the implantation of intraocular lens, due to its advantages, is specially indicated. Such cases are presented briefly in this paper. Good results are achieved through strictly observing the methods of treatment before and after the implantation of the lens.
