    Author: Kern R, Lüthi M.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1984 May; 184(5):415-8. PubMed ID: 6748544.
    Abstract:
    Between 1972 and 1980 extracapsular cataract surgery was performed in 24 children, followed by implantation of an iris clip lens, after primary reconstruction of the anterior segment. Regular follow-ups were carried out at 3-month intervals. Discission of a secondary cataract was necessary in 19 cases. Visual acuity of 0.5 or more was achieved by 19 children. An orthophoria or exophoria was also found in 19 children with positive depth perception after a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 9.5 years' observation.
