It was established that IOL implantation in patients with TK is possible in all cases provided the kidney transplant is compensated for and there are no foci of acute or chronic inflammation in the body.

Clinical examinations denoted that the intraocular aphakia correction in patients with TK is a method of choice accelerating the medical and social rehabilitation in the discuss...Continue Reading
