[Experiences with the implantation of anterior chamber lenses (author's transl)].

On account of the good results with the new generation of anterior chamber lenses reported by C.D. Binkhorst, the implantation of lenses was begun in 1969 at the Department of Ophthalmology in Bremen and 350 anterior chamber lenses were implanted till 1st Febr. 1977. After the presentation of indications and the operative technique, the problems of postoperative treatment, the results and complications are discussed. According to our experiences up to now, we see in the implantation of iris-supported artificial lenses an enrichment of our surgical possibilities particularly in respect of special functional requirements.
