Purpose To report a case of delayed presentation of a severed acrylic single-piece intraocular lens (IOL) haptic fragment causing corneal edema after uneventful phacoemulsification surgery. Observations An 85-year-old male presented with inferior corneal decompensation six months after a reportedly uneventful phacoemulsification in his left eye. A distal haptic fragment of an acrylic single-p...

We present a technique for suture fixation of an intraocular lens (IOL) in the absence of capsule support. This technique is useful for the treatment of aphakia and the management of IOL complications or cataract surgery when all capsule support is lost.

The lens capsule and silicone intraocular lens (IOL) extracted from the eye of a patient with chronic infectious endophthalmitis was examined histopathologically to evaluate the pathology of a capsule and IOL surfaces in the presence of bacterial infection. A 69-year-old man developed an infection in his right eye 4 months after phacoemulsification and aspiration of a cataract and implantation ...

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...

odern cataract surgery aims not only to remove lens opacities but also to achieve correction of any refractive error. In addition to restoration of uncorrected visual acuity, correction of preexisting astigmatism is also important, and treatment options for this purpose include corneal limbal relaxing incisions, excimer laser photoablation and toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Shimizu ...

A Modified Iris Suture Technique for In-the-bag Intraocular Lens Dislocation Clinically significant posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) decentrations or dislocations occur in the aftermath of approximately 2% to 3% of cataract surgeries. Early inor out-of-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocations arise within 3 months of surgery, primarily as a result of traumatic zonular or capsular r...

Traumatic aniridia and aphakia occurred in the left eye of a 22-year-old man who had had Artisan (Ophtec) phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Aniridia was probably the result of the relatively large wound used to implant the nonfoldable IOL. Although the eye had severe traumatic damage, vision was recoverable through a 2-stage procedure of vitrectomy and subsequent scleral suture fixati...

PURPOSE Implanting intraocular lens (IOL) in proper direction is important in cataract surgery to reduce the possibility of undesirable complications. We experienced a case who underwent vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery and developed secondary angle closure glaucoma caused by IOL misdirection. Goniosynechialysis (GSL) and repositioning of IOL successfully ameliorated the high intraocul...

Opacification of a hydrophilic acrylic intraocular (IOL) lens is a rare phenomenon. We herein report a case of a 57-year man complaining of decreased vision at left eye for the last 4 months. He had undergone phacoemulsification with IOL implantation 2 years back. IOL opacification was observed through slit-lamp. IOL exchange was carried out. The exchanged IOL and a new lens of the same model w...

In the current era of presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs), toric IOLs and aspheric IOL technology, the practice milieu is changing. Informed consent takes on newmeaning when the surgeon and the patient decide together which IOL technology represents the best fit for a particular life style and its visual demands. Customizing IOL choice is no longer optional; it is essential to the p...
