The investigation comprises the results of post-traumatic artephakias. In the course of 15 months the authors treated 15 patients with traumatic cataract after previous perforating or blunt eye injuries. In 12 patients after extracapsular extraction a retropupillary IOL was implanted. In three patients implantation was not performed. Retropupillary pseudophakia is the optimal correction of aphakia even in patients with previous serious eye injuries. A higher incidence of postoperative complications may be expected.
