Abstract
The results of cataract extraction with posterior chamber lens implantation in twenty eyes with Fuchs' Heterochromic Cyclitis are reported. No serious operative complications were experienced. The visual outcome has been excellent in all but those eyes with coexistent glaucoma. The postoperative complications seem no more frequent than would be expected for the underlying condition.
