Reflecting microscopy of implanted artificial lenses in a novel method of examination for adequate postoperative examination and follow-up of the large group of patients operated on for cataract. The demands made on the technical equipment of the ophthalmologist are low, in most cases the slit lamp that is routinely available will suffice. This is a guide to the technique of reflecting microscopy, and to demonstrate both normal findings and inflammations by means of examples and overview statistics.
