[Artificial lenses in surgery of traumatic cataracts due to perforating injuries of the eye].

In this work longdated anatomical and functional results of artificial lens implantation in traumatic cataracts after perforation of the eye in the group of 44 eyes (43 patients) aged between 3-54 years are evaluated (in the years 1985-89). Average period of observation was 6.3 years. Saving capsula, the artificial intraocular lens was implanted into the posterior eye chamber. In the years 1985-86 also the pupilar models (T03 Fyodorv-Zacharov) were used. In absent of capsular support, the artificial intraocular lens was implanted into the anterior eye chamber and also the posterior-chamber models with polypropylene haptics were successfully applicated (less number of negative changes was achieved). The visual acuity 6/36 and better was constated in 79.5% eyes (before operation only in 13.7%) during the last examination of the observed patients. Best results were achieved after implantation into the posterior eye chamber (90% of the eyes had visual acuity 6/6-6/12).
