[IOL implantation for the traumatic cataract].

28 eyes of traumatic cataract were performed extracapsular cataract extraction followed by primary or secondary implantation of posterior chamber IOL. Postoperative vision was over 0.2, and 1.0 or better in 71% of the eyes on follow-up. No major complications were noted during a follow-up from 62 days to 7 years. Since most traumatic cataracts are monocular and in the young, adaptation of different surgical techniques is significant in widening the range of surgical indications and promoting the success rate of the operation.
