the analysis of the results of surgical treatment of ectopia lentis by different technics used since twenty years on 113 cases demonstrates that : -- in spite of satisfactory results obtained by discission alone of the lens when surgical possibilities were limited , this method must now be given up. -- intra-capsular extraction is still valuable when the lens is luxated in the anterior chamber or cataracted. -- extra-capsular extraction remains nowadays the best technic : -- by classical discission aspiration associated to an anterior vitrectomy in case of rupture of the hyaloid , when the lens is moderately subluxated ; -- by means of the vitreotome through the pars plana when the lens is totally luxated .
