Abstract
Intraocular lenses may be a valuable adjunct to the prevention of amblyopia in cases of tramatic corneal opacification and cataract in young individuals. In such cases conservative treatment such as initial repair followed by later cataract extraction and penetrating keratoplasty, followed still later by the use of a contact lens may take so long that irreparable amblyopia develops. It is vital to the prevention of amblyopia to regain useful vision as quickly as possible. The use of a phacoprosthesis is the quickest way to obtain vision in these cases. It is felt by the authors that it is thoroughly justified in children when amblyopia is threatening. Five unusual cases are reported in which these lenses have been used.
