Pak J Ophthalmol Jan ;11(4):109-12.

Records of 400 intraocular lens (10L) implantations in 374 patients operated on at Chandka Medical College Hospital, Larkana and People`s Medical College Hospital, Nawabshah during 4-112 years (November, 1990 to March, 1995) were reviewed retrospectively with regard to the incidence of complications and their management. 233 (58.25%) were males and 167 (41.75%) were females. Average age of patients was 50.8 years. 80% of the patients achieved final visual acuity of 6118 or better. Majority of cataracts were senile, followed by traumatic, congenital, diabetic and complicated types. All complications are listed, the main being keratitis, residual cortical matter, posterior capsular rupture and uveitis. The rest of the complications were of little consequence as regards visual disturbance, with the exception of decentration and endophthalmitis. Fortunately, the latter complication was rare. The etiology and treatment of complications are discussed.
