Pseudophakia of posterior chamber in cataracts of various etiologies. The visual results and the complications found in 150 intraocular lens implantations in two different modles for posterior chamber haven been studied in cataracts of various etiologies. Good visual outcome eas achieved in 78 % of cases as well as a vision higher than 0,5 without correction and vision equals to 1,0 with correction were reached in 60 % of patients. Good tolerance to IOL and slight damage in the neighbouring structures of all studied cataracts were observed. The most frequent complication was capsular opacity and the most serious ones eye: corneal decompensation in 2 eyes; macular cystoid edema in 3 eyes and retinal detachment in one case after Yag-laser capsulotomy. The 724B monobloc model was the lens with best result. The spherical refraction was under 2 diptries to attain the best vision in most cases.
