Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS: The mean postoperative follow-up period was 22 months (range, 9-35 months). Of the 7 patients, 6 (85.7%) achieved visual acuity (Snellen acuity) of 6/12 or better and 4 eyes (57.1%) reached 6/6. At the last follow-up, all patients were pseudophakic, 2 required secondary lens implants, and retinal detachment developed in 1 patient. CONCLUSION: This consecutive case series underlines the fact that a delayed approach is compatible with good visual prognosis in relatively young patients.
