[Correction of unilateral aphakia in children, adolescents, and adults at an age when accommodation is still possible].

Twenty-one patients, aged 4-42 years, with unilateral aphakia after perforating injury, were corrected with a combination of spectacles and contact lenses. While taking stereopsis and aniseikonia into consideration, each patient was corrected with the combination of contact lens and spectacles to achieve the best stereoscopic vision. Two of the five children (aged 4 and 7) achieved positive results on stereoscopic acuity. 15 of 16 patients (10-42 years old) showed good results on the TNO table test. The influence of visual acuity and age as well as the influence of the principles of the stereoacuity test are discussed.
