[Implantation of Binkhorst's iridocapsular lens (author's transl)].

Advantages of the extracapsular extraction for implantation of Binkhorst's iridocapsular lens. Description of the surgical procedure; its indications and contre indications. Analysis of the results of 131 operations. The follow up of 120 patients exceeded six months. 84% of the patients have a visual acuity higher than 10/20. The major complication is secondary cataract which requires new surgery in 20% of the cases. The major complication is secondary cataract which requires new surgery in 20% of the cases.

[Keratoplasty. Urgent treatment of the corneal perforation (author's transl)].

Sixteen keratoplasties (15 perforating, 1 lamellar) were performed on 12 perforated corneas and on 2 eyes threatened by imminent corneal perforation. The causal disease was metaherpetic kératitis (6 cases), chronic and recurrent ulcers (4 cases), acute keratoconus (1 case) and corneal traumas (3 cases). Enucleation has been avoided and the anterior chamber was restored in all the cases, with or without anterior synechiae. One case only developed ocular hypertension which was cured by fistulisation. Architectonic results are satisfying in all the cases. Recuperation of visual functions is possible only in the most favourable cases. It is indicated to perform keratoplasty before the perforation when this one seems unavoidable and to consider this surgical procedrue as an emergency when the cornea is perforated.
