[Outpatient intraocular lens implantation].

The extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation (ECCE with PC IOL) was performed on 113 cases (120 eyes) with senile cataract. Half a year after the surgery, uncorrected visual acuity of 0.5 or better was achieved in 65.83%; corrected visual acuity of 0.5 or better in 93.33%, 1.0 or better in 82.50%. The intraoperative complications included vitreous prolapse, residual corte, iridodialysis and Descemet's membrane stripping. The postoperative complications were opaque posterior capsule, iris synechiea, IOL dislocation. The post-operative visual acuity and complications of the outpatient surgery was not significantly different compared to inpatient ECCE with PC IOL. The results showed that outpatient cataract surgery is safe. The advantage and disadvantage of outpatient IOL implantation were discussed, and some measures to popularize this operation for outpatient were recommended.
