The average age of the patients was seventy-six with a range from fifty-five to eighty-nine years old. Of the twenty-six patients who have been followed up 3 month 87.5 % have achieved visual acuity of 20/40 or better. The average central corneal endothelial cell loss at postoperative 7 days and 3 months were 9.8% and 12.3% respectively. Complications were observed in six patients. Two patients were pre-existing retinal and optic nerve diseases, one has a fibrinous membrane. Three patients have transient pigmentary precipitates on IOL surface.
