Functional results of aphakia correction by different methods (eyeglasses, contact and intraocular lenses) are compared. The difference of this study from previous is that it was carried out in a group of patients to whom these methods were prescribed in succession. The rightfulness of such an approach to evaluation of functional results of various methods for aphakia correction is dictated by the fact that the norm is a relative parameter for many ophthalmic ergonometric studies, and thus the investigations need to be standardized (e.g., investigations in the same patients). Comparison of the efficiencies of different methods demonstrated that the best results are attained with intraocular lenses.
