HYPERFAKIA WITH COMPLICATED CATARACT

Cataract extraction complicated by capsular glaucoma.

Synechiae involving the iris pigment epithelium and the peripheral anterior lens capsule occur in capsular glaucoma. During cataract extraction they may bring about traction on the capsule threatening its rupture. The ultrastructural basis of these adhesions is a bonding of pigment cells to capsular surface by pseudoexfoliative material.

PURPOSE To report a case of sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) associated with cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS CASE REPORT RESULTS A 50-year-old man developed SO two months after complicated cataract surgery and IOL implantation.

Lensectomy for complicated cataract in juvenile chronic iridocyclitis.

Experience with the removal of complicated cataract by lensectomy in patients with juvenile chronic iridocyclitis (JCI) has so far been limited. The results of lensectomy were reviewed retrospectively in 131 patients with JCI (187 eyes). The mean follow up period was 5 years 4 months. The main operative complication was accidental loss of lens material into the vitreous cavity. The postoperativ...

Complicated extracapsular cataract surgery in pseudoexfoliation syndrome: a case report.

Crystalline lens dislocation and zonular dialysis during intraocular surgery are recognised features of the pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES). A case is reported in which zonular dialysis occurred in both eyes during extracapsular cataract extraction. In particular surgery was complicated by difficulty in performing anterior capsulotomy. Careful preoperative assessment and peroperative technique...
