The first 500 posterior chamber lenses inserted in the cap­sular bag, have been analysed in detail. The cases in­cluded in this study were developmental, traumatic and complicated cataracts in addition to senile cataract. The follow-up ranged from 6 months to 2 years. Although posterior capsule rupture occured in 23 cases, the lens was inserted in 12 cases with a small tear. In general the com­plications were found to be minimal and visual recovery was good in more than 80 % of the cases. The only problems we have been facing were thickening of the posterior capsule (11.6 %), high astigmatism (12.2 %), pupillary capture (5.6 %) and decentering of the lens (2.8 %).
