Abstract
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.
