AIM: To observe the surgical effects of the taumatic lens subluxation and cataract after manual fragmentation and emulsification of nucleus and foldable intraocular lens implantation.

METHODS: A 3.0mm tunnel limbus incision was operated through the predicted bulbar conjunctiva and sclera on 26 cases(26 eyes)with taumatic lens subluxation(suspensory ligament rupture range less than 120)and cataract(Ⅰ～Ⅲ). And after the manual fragmentation and emulsification of nucleus, foldable intraocular lens was implantated. Intraocular lens loop was imbedded in the middle of the lens zonular ligament breakup to reset the pouch. The surgical complications and postoperative vision changes were observed.

RESULTS: Three month after operation, 22 eyes had a intraocular lens centric position taking up 85% of the whole. Four eyes had a slightly eccentric position(1～2mm), taking up 15% of the whole. 21 eyes had their visual acuity 0.5～0.8, taking up 81% of the whole. Five eyes of visual acuity was 0.2～0.8. Within 24h intraocular pressure of 12 eyes(46%)after operation were elevated, and returned to normal after 2～7d. There was no severe complication during operation and postoperation.

CONCLUSION: The manual fragmentation and emulsification of nucleus and foldable intraocular lens implantation of the traumatic lens subluxation and the cataract through the 3.0mm corneal sclera limbus tunnel incision is a simple and effective surgery.
