N. Ibaraki et H. Shimizu, CORNEAL DAMAGE AFTER GLASS INTRAOCULAR-LENS IMPLANTATION, Journal of cataract and refractive surgery, 21(2), 1995, pp. 225-227
We present three cases of corneal damage in two patients after implant
ation of an anterior chamber, iris-supported, intraocular lens (IOL) w
ith a glass optic and polyamide haptics. We found bullous keratopathy
in all three eyes. Penetrating keratoplasty, IOL removal, and anterior
vitrectomy were performed in all cases. We believe the bullous kerato
pathy was caused by long-term iritis and pseudophakodonesis.
