The authors describe their own manual technique of extracapsular cataract extraction with subsequent implantation of a synthetic intraocular lens. They give an account of results assembled in 83 patients after ECE, incl. 60 where an intraocular lens was implanted. They achieved very satisfactory results with a minimal number of complications, one of which was more serious. In the conclusion the authors emphasize that final evaluation calls for a longer follow-up period.

In a case record the authors present an account on a patient with an opaque media of the left eye on account of seclusion and occlusion of the pupil. The cause of the unilateral chronic uveitis was elucidated by ultrasonic examination with visualization type A. The cause was a calcified lens dislocated into the vitreous body and fixed to the posterior wall of the eye. The finding was confirmed by a negative X-ray picture and positive finding of a small foreign body with high density on CT. Dislocation of the lens occurred after a blow on the left eye during boxing 15 years before the patient sought medical assistance on account of a painful practically blind eyeball.
