Fifty monocular aphakes were fitted with hydrophilic aphakic contact lenses. Twenty-seven (54%) could wear the lenses for one week or more without removal. Eighteen (35%) could wear the lenses from 1 to 7 days. Five (10%) could not be fitted. No serious complications were noted although corneal epithelial problems and neovascularization needed careful observation. No case of clinical infection, conjunctival or corneal was noted.
