Correcting the Unilateral Aphake

Abstract

Three procedures are available to correct the unilateral aphake: (i) a contact lens to minimize magnification, which could be said to be the procedure of first choice; (ii) spectacles for the eye with best acuity, or for the dominant eye, and a balance lens for the other eye, if the contact lens fails; (iii) spectacles providing best acuity in both eyes.
The following report concerns a patient in which the third procedure described above was used.
