Conclusions 1. Everyone agrees that if a patient is wearing a contact lens
the patient should not undergo secondary lens implantation. 2. It is well agreed upon that it is much safer to perform a secondary lens implantation in an eye with an intact posterior capsule than in an eye which has undergone prior intracapsular surgery. 3. Many, if not most implant surgeons, will not do a secondary lens implantation in an eye with vitreous in the anterior chamber. 4. Some implant surgeons, judging by their statistics and comments, are strongly opposed to secondary lens implantation. 5. There is a recent trend for surgeons who do secondary lens implantation to use the Choyce Mark VIII Lens. 6. There are extremely wide differences of opinions among implant surgeons concerning indications, techniques, lenses, and complications. References 1.
