The new soft intraocular lens implant.

The 29 cases using the Type E soft implant demonstrated that: 1. This implant is acceptable to the eye. 2. Good visual acuity can be obtained from a soft implant. 3. Postoperative course is characterized by minimal reaction. 4. This intraocular implant design is acceptable to the eye and stable within it. As with any new procedure, the actual facts are only known after a number of years of experience. The potential long-term success of the soft implant opens up a new vista in the field of intraocular lens implantation. We hope that our continuing efforts will prove useful in approaching the goal of perfect sight following cataract surgery.

Radial keratotomy.

Radial keratotomy has always produced ambivalent feelings in the Ophthalmologist. The severe complications produced by the Sato procedure has been an unforgettable episode. The work of Fyodorov and Durney (1979) and their American counterparts, Bores (1981) and Hoffer (1981) have done a great service to radial keratotomy in having it established as an acceptable procedure. The controversy really only abated with the work of the National Institute of Health Funded Prospective Evaluation of Radial Keratotomy (PERK) study which suggested that the procedure has a low initial risk and was effective in decreasing myopic correction. Over the last 3 years a series of cases where evaluated and followed up in detail in an effort to gain a perspective on the one problem which has bugged the radial keratotomy programme from the beginning-its predict-ability.
