[On the correction of posttraumatic unilateral aphakia in children and in adults with artificial intraocular lens implants (author's transl)]. 1978

M C Oppong, and R Kern, and J Schipper, and F Käppeli

The problems of optical correction of unilateral traumatic aphakia are discussed. The treatment of choice is a combined Cataract-operation with intraocular lens implants. The operation must be done as soon as the eye is free of inflammation. Prescription of bifocal glasses in addition to pseudophakoi is necessary. With this method a "malignant" Strabismus can be avoided and binocular vision, stereopsis as well as minimal grade of aniseikonia can be achieved.
