[Secondary posterior chamber lenses. Implantation in intact, partially intact and missing posterior lens capsule].

Between January 1988 and December 1991, 63 patients (75 eyes) underwent secondary posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. The mean period since primary cataract extraction was 85 months, and the mean age of these patients was 58 years. In 47 eyes with extracapsular aphakia the IOL was ciliary sulcus-fixated following polishing of the posterior capsule and synecholysis.

Results of extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation in eyes with uveitis and Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis.

A total of 63 cataractous eyes of 48 patients (group 1) with uveitis and 12 eyes of 12 patients (group 2) with Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis underwent extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with capsular bag fixation of a posterior-chamber intraocular lens (PC OIL). A perioperative regimen of systemic dexamethasone (0.8-1.
