Functional results and late complications were analyzed in 548 patients with implanted lenses after extraction of various kinds of cataracts. The smallest inflammatory reaction and the best functional results were obtained after applying this type of lenses in senile cataract extractions. A proper qualification of patients reduced considerably the number of complications.
Six hundred and eighty five eyes with pseudophakia after implantation of anterior chamber (162), posterior chamber (29) and pupillary lenses (494) were subjected to an analysis. Intraocular hypertension after implantation was observed sometimes either as a transitory or a permanent one. The frequency of glaucoma in eyes with pseudophakia is dependent on the kind of the implant. In the material investigated the chronic glaucoma was found relatively most frequently after implantation of anterior chamber lenses, less frequently after implantation after pupillary implantation, the least frequently after posterior chamber implantations. In cases of an ineffective pharmacological treatment trabeculectomy was performed.
The authors present the results of determination of the level of free fatty acids in the serum and aqueous in patients with a senile cataract (23 persons), with cataract and glaucoma (9 persons), complicated post-uveitis cataract (10 persons) and diabetic cataract (10 persons). The level of the free fatty acids in senile cataract was significantly lower in the aqueous in comparison with the serum. Their content in senile cataract was significantly lower in comparison with cataract and glaucoma and with complicated cataract.

Presented are the surgical techniques used in implantation of intraocular intracapsular disc-shaped lenses. Particular stages of the operation are photographically documented. The authors present the most frequently encountered complications which appeared in their material and they point out their causes.
The authors present 7 cases of extracapsular hard cataract extraction with implantation of posterior chamber lens or an intracapsular disc-shaped lens. Because of existing indications they performed simultaneously an anti-glaucoma operation. In all the cases the postoperative IOP persisted in normal limits without any necessity of application of a pharmacological treatment.
The paper presents a comparison of the efficacy of Bupivacaine with Xylocaine and Xylocaine alone used for retrobulbar injection and akinesia in cataract surgery. Two groups comprising 50 patients each were subjected to evaluation. The results obtained encourage to put into practice the mixture of Bupivacaine with Xylocaine for local anaesthesia in cataract operations.
