[Methods for the primary surgical treatment of penetrating eye wounds with the use of the intraocular lens]. 1989

M I Aleshaev

The analysis of results after treatment of 60 patients with penetrating eye wounds in whom primary surgical treatment included IOL implantation, has shown that early intraocular correction, by indications elaborated by the author, is justified and allows to achieve high visual acuity. The choice of the surgical method should be determined by the character of the eye ball injury. In those cases when the corneal wound is 7-8 mm in size, it is advisable to implant the IOL through the inlet opening, this being less traumatic, than implantation through the additional corneoscleral incision. In case of embedment of a foreign body and its localization within 5-6 mm from the limbus, it can be removed through the corneoscleral incision together with conducting all necessary procedures. In case of a deeper embedment of foreign body, but not beyond the eye equator, it should be removed diasclerally and the IOL implanted through the additional incision. The proposed methods for treatment of penetrating eye wounds using IOL implantation allowed to achieve good vision in the patients operated on, and in remote terms it achieved the levels from 0.28 +/- 0.09 to 0.70 +/- 0.06.

D014792	Visual Acuity	Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast.	Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
