Abstract

From February 1986 to October 1988, 125 cases of planned ECCE with posterior chamber lens implantation were performed in Chosun University Hospital, and they had been followed up for more than 6 months. The results were as follows: 1. In the 125 cases of posterior chamber lens implantation, the number of patients were 87 male and 38 female. The most prevalent age groups were age 50s to 60s for both men and women. 2. Posterior chamber lens power ranged from +17.0D to +22.5D and the most frequently used posterior chamber lens power was from +19.0D to +20.0D(83 eyes, 66.4% of 125 cases) in both male and female. 3. Postoperative corrected vision with posterior chamber lens was improved up to 0.6 or better in 87.5%. 4. The mean spherical equivalent o final postoperative refractive state was observed in - 0.75 +/- 1.54D. 5. Postoperative complications were pupil distortion(12.8%), increased intraocular pressure(4.0%), tilted chamber lens(4.0%), cystoid macular edema(2.4%) and after-cataract(1.6%).
