Abstract
dc.description.abstract
One hundred and twelve primary posterior chamber intraocular lens implants from a series of 560 eyes operated on at the Eye Service of Hospital Salvador in Santiago, Chile, were analyzed to determine the postoperative visual acuity. The follow up time varied between 3 and 26 months. Lenses were implanted by experienced ophthalmologists and residents in training. Visual acuity was 0.5 or better in 79.5% of cases. The postoperative visual acuity varied with age, being worse in patients over 70 years old.
