Before surgery, diplopia occurred in 16 eyes. Dazzling sensation happened in 10 eyes. The follow up time was 1-3 years. The surgical efficacy and complications were observed and compared. Results At the end of follow-up, the IOLs were stabilized in the center of pupils. The visual acuity of all cases after surgery were improved. Diplopia and dazzling sensation disappeared. The corneal edema occurred in 16 eyes, the anterior chamber uveitis in 10 eyes, high intraocular pressure in 8 eyes, ocular hypotension in 4 eyes and mild hyphema in 4 eyes. No corneal endothelial decompensation, secondary glaucoma, choroidal detachment or retinal detachment happend.
