    Abstract:
    During 1983-1993, 202 patients (a total of 230 eyes), 113 males and 117 females, were operated. From these, 47 selected cases could not be properly followed and the functional results were established only after repeated checking. In these cases, the surgical techniques consisted of 7 cryoextractions, 47 extracapsular extractions and 18 irrigations-aspirations in double stream. 47 lens implants have been introduced, 43 were Fedorov [correction of Fyodorov]-type with pupillary fixation and 4 were posterior chamber implants. The visual acuity was almost the same to both the patients who have benefited from implants and to those corrected with contact lens or glasses.
