  • Title: [Retropupillary intraocular correction in traumatic cataract].
    Author: Kraus H, Birndtová E, Růzicková E.
    Journal: Cesk Oftalmol; 1989 Feb; 45(1):13-7. PubMed ID: 2731243.
    Abstract:
    In 10 eyes with traumatic cataract (in eight eyes after perforating injuries, in two after blunt trauma) in patients from 5 1/2 to 58 years of age extracapsular extraction with retropupillar lens implantation was performed. At the same time in one patient a keratoplasty, in another a iridoplasty was performed. There were no intraoperative complications, in the postoperative course a decentration of the intraocular lens was seen two times, once secondary glaucoma and once secondary cataract. Both latter complications were cured with Nd:YAG laser. In 8 patients visual acuity was good, in one reduced for chorioretinal complications of the injury, in one for unknown reasons. In 2 from the 5 operated children transient alternations of binocular vision appeared.
