TRAUMATIC IMPLANTATION CYST IN ANTERIOR CHAMBER AFTER CATARACT EXTRACTION

Traumatic implantation cyst in anterior chamber after cataract extraction.

A male labourer, aged 74, attended the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, complaining of defective vision. Examination.-In the right eye, the visual acuity was reduced to 6/18, because of lens opacities. The left eye showed advanced lens opacities, and the visual acuity was good perception of light. Operation.-On August 4, 1952, an intracapsular extraction of the opaque left lens was performed w...

Depth of anterior chamber after cataract extraction.

A total of 80 patients with senile cataract had the anterior eye chamber depth measured optically by means of Haag-Streit's attachment II. The distance to the pupillary border was 2.59 +/- 0.05 mm (mean +/- SEM) preoperatively. It increased gradually after cataract extraction to 3.33 +/- 0.04 mm, measured 4 months after the operation. The increase of depth was the greatest in patients with a fl...

Anterior chamber lens implantation after vitreous loss.

Vitreous loss is a serious complication of cataract surgery. Following vitreous loss it is common practice to perform a primary implantation of an anterior chamber lens (AC-IOL). We retrospectively analysed 642 consecutive cases of cataract extraction performed between 1983 and 1986 with special attention to those patients in whom vitreous loss occurred and an AC-IOL was placed. There were 27 s...

anterior chamber depth changes after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation

purpose: to determine anterior chamber depth (ac depth) changes during a 6 month period after phacoemulsification cataract surgery and foldable intraocular lens (iol) implantation. methods: in a cross-sectional study, 85 eyes of 85 patients were evaluated for ac depth and capsulo-rrhexis size one and six months after the procedure. results: patients included 44 male and 41 female subjects with ...
