Abstract
-
The authors reported the result of extracapsular lens extraction of 45 eyes(42 cases) which were operated in eye clinic of B.N.D. Hospital and red-cross hospital from January 1975 to August 1976. We thought that the major operative and postoperative complications could be reduced with skillful technique of adequate removal of anterior lens capsule and irrigation of lenticular substances for senile mature and hypermature cataract.
