Popis: 21 aphakic eyes of 21 patients corrected by glasses (A-G) were examined 1 and 6 months before and after secondary intraocular lens implantation (SILI). Visual acuity (VA) was tested using Snellen chart and computerized method with Landolt rings (CL). Contrast sensitivity (CS) was measured using computerized Contrast sensitivity system 8010 in spatial frequencies from 0.74 to 29.55 c/deg. Preoperative best corrected VA (BCVA) in A-G eyes was significantly lower in comparison with control group of the same age only using computerized method with Landolt rings. A reduction of BCVA by both methods at 1 month and its return to original values after 6 months were noted. Significantly lower values of CS were found in A-G patients before SILI compared to the control group of the same median age in spatial frequencies from 3.69 to 29.55 c/deg. After 1 and 6 months the values stayed on the preoperative level, except the frequency 29.55 c/deg, which increased significantly (p < 0.01) 6 months after SILI.
