  • Title: A comparison of ICCE-Binkhorst intraocular lens and ECCE-posterior chamber intraocular lens, thirty-four to forty months postoperatively.
    Author: Jaffe NS, Clayman HM, Jaffe MS.
    Journal: J Am Intraocul Implant Soc; 1982; 8(2):128-30. PubMed ID: 7130016.
    Abstract:
    A retrospective study of 450 consecutive intracapsular cataract extractions with a Binkhorst lens implant, and 450 consecutive extracapsular cataract extractions with a posterior chamber lens implant, was performed. All patients were examined between 34 and 40 months postoperatively, except for those patients who died before this time, those lost to followup, or those who were otherwise unavailable during this time. The results suggest that the extracapsular series had a more favorable outcome than the intracapsular series, especially with regard to final visual acuity and the incidence of clinical cystoid macular edema.
