Abstract

The clinical results of 20 patients(20 eyes) who were operated due to perforated corneal laceration with traumatic cataract between March 5, 1991 and July 14, 1994 were analysed for the predictors of postoperative good visual outcome and compared simultaneous cataract surgery and implantation with secondary implantation. The most significant predictor of postoperative good visual outcome was the location of corneal laceration. Timing of lens implantation didn't influence significantly final visual acuity and postoperative inflammation. But postoperative complication were less frequent in patients where secondary IOL implantation was performed as opposed to those simultaneous IOL implantated.
