Abstract

Cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation was performed in 32 eyes of 32 patients in the years 1990-1992. Surgery was performed in 10 eyes with well-controlled intraocular pressure without any antiglaucomatous operation, in 10 because of inadequate control with simultaneous trabeculectomy, in 7 after earlier filtering procedures and in 5 with secondary glaucoma. Surgical technics, intra- and postoperative complications and the results are discussed. Visual acuity in 18 eyes was 0.5-1.0, in 10 eyes 0.1-0.4 and in 2 it was 0.05. The follow-up for all the eyes yielded normal intraocular pressure, in most cases without additional pharmacological treatment.
