Abstract |
Despite of much advances in the design of the IOL and the method of the sterilization and the techniques in ophthalmic surgery, disastrous complications following cataract extraction have been reported occasionally. Such complications may occur with or without IOL implantation, and may be induced by artificial lens itself or by indirect effect of the lens such as mechanical trauma. A pseudophakic eyeball which was implanted iris-supported IOL 6 years ago was enucleated due to intractable ocular pain, and the eyeball exhibited a localized inflammation in the anterior uvea especially in iris. From those findings we could suspect a mechanical trauma of the IOL, that might cause noninfectious inflammation. The complication of the cataract extraction is reviewed with histopathologic findings. |
