The analysis concerned 100 eyes (91 persons) operated for senile (89 eyes), traumatic (7 eyes) and pathological (4 cases) cataracts, with implantation of an artificial anterior chamber lens. The age of the patients oscillated between 32 and 86 years. The period of observation amounted from several months to 3 years. In 83 cases the final visual acuity was over 0.7. The authors stated a dependence of the visual acuity on the coexisting general diseases and on the type of cataract.
