Popis:	Secondary implantation of a posterior chamber infraocular lens in an aphakic eye devoid of an intact posterior capsule requires a special surgical approach. When lens capsule remnants remain in the periphery, the ciliary sulcus can be reconstructed to accommodate a posterior chamber lens. The fibrotic lens or capsular residues that often remain adherent to the posterior surface of the iris are divided with sharp intraocular scissors, and a shelf is created that is sufficient to support the lens haptics. A series of 28 cases, including 16 involving young children, demonstrates the feasibility and the favorable visual results obtainable with this surgical technique.
