PURPOSE To evaluate the indications, postoperative visual efficacy, and complication rate after intraocular implantation of an iris-claw aphakic intraocular lens (IOL). SETTING Oxford Eye Hospital, Oxford, United Kingdom. DESIGN Case series. METHODS This chart review comprised eyes with no capsule support that had anterior iris-fixation IOL implantation for aphakia between 2001 and 2009. ...

We report on 29 consecutive patients with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy who underwent in one eye penetrating keratoplasty with an exchange of the original intraocular lens for a Pearce tripod posterior chamber lens, and who were available for a follow up of at least 12 months. The average interval between cataract extraction with lens implantation and the appearance of bullous keratopathy wa...

This retrospective study analyses and compares early complications during the first month after primary and secondary posterior chamber implantation of transsclerally sutured IOL. The analysis covered medical records of 65 patients who underwent posterior chamber implantation of transsclerally sutured IOL at the Eye Clinic in Rijeka between 1998 and 2003. In 30 patients (group 1) lenses were im...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the value of ultrasonic biomicroscopy in reporting decreases in intraocular pressure resulting from changes in anterior chamber depth and angle after phacoemulsification and intracapsular lens implantation in patients with cataract. METHODS This prospective interventional case series included 50 eyes of 50 consecutive subjects operated at the sam...

purpose: to report a case of capsular bag distension syndrome (cbds) with solid material presenting eight years after cataract surgery. case report: a 58-years-old female who underwent an uneventful clear-cornea phacoemulsification with in-the-bag intraocular lens (iol) implantation in the right eye, presented with a chief complaint of blurred vision (va: 20/200) and cobweb like matter appearin...

OBJECTIVE To determine the changes in visual acuity in patients undergoing Trans-Scleral Sutured Posterior Chamber Intra-Ocular Lens (TSSPCIOL) implantation at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. STUDY DESIGN Case series. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY LRBT Tertiary Eye Hospital, Karachi, from January 2006 to December 2010. METHODOLOGY Records of all patients undergoing implantati...

Pupillary capture is an unusual complication of posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation and may occur in the early or late postoperative period. We describe a series of patients with early or late onset pupillary capture and describe the pathogenesis. Early capture results from mechanical factors and is usually preventable. Late capture may be mechanical but is usually a sequel to the f...

Case Report A 60-year-old Chinese male, with no signifi cant medical history, underwent uncomplicated right phacoemulsifi cation surgery with a 5.5 mm capsulorrhexis and implantation of a single piece 4-loop aspheric acrylic PCIOL (Bausch & Lomb Akreos® Adapt AO,+20.0D, Rochester, NY, USA) into the capsular bag in March 2009. There was no zonular dialysis intraoperatively and no signifi cant ca...

PURPOSE A new, potentially accommodative posterior chamber lens (PCIOL) was designed based on principles elaborated by Hanna using finite element computer simulation methods. We report 3-month postoperative results in patients. METHODS In a prospective study, 12 eyes of 12 patients (age 45 to 87 yr) underwent phacoemulsification for cataracts and PCIOL implantation. The PCIOL, 1 CU, has hapti...
