optical rehabilitation of the patient with aphakia who cannot tolerate contact lenses present a therapeutic challenge. in the absence of capsular support, anterior chamber lenses have been widely used. on the other hand intraocular lens implantation of scleral sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens during penterating keratoplasty or insufficient iris support is recommended. the purpose of t...

introduction: in cases of poor satisfaction with aphakic glasses and intolerant or reluctant to use contact lenses, secondary intraocular lens (iol) implantation provide an alternative aphakic vision correction. this study aimed to evaluate surgical problems.  intraoperative and postoperative complications and visual acuity outcomes of secondary anterior and posterior chamber intraocular lens i...

OBJECTIVE To report a rare case of intraocular lens (ACIOL) opacification in the anterior chamber in an adolescent and to discuss the possible mechanism of its occurrence and the ways of its prevention. CASE A 16-year-old male underwent cataract surgery for developmental cataract with placement of a foldable posterior chamber IOL in the anterior chamber. There was subsequent opacification of ...

METHODS We included seven eyes in which sutureless intrascleral posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) fixation was performed. Pre- and post-surgical best-corrected visual acuity (LogMAR) and refraction changes were analyzed. There was a one year follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS Sutureless intrascleral posterior chamber intraocular lens fixation is, in our experience, a safe technique that all...

purpose: to report the development of cataract after corneal damage by dungle beetle prongs. case report: a 28 year-old man, resident of the village chah setareh, sabzevar, presented complaining of trauma to the right eye with the dangle beetle while motorcycling. slit lamp examination revealed six corneal perforations, hyphema (50% of anterior chamber) percent, iris sphincter rupture, and rupt...

purpose: to describe a case with a rare complication of posterior chamber intraocular lens (pc-iol) implantation in a patient who had undergone extracapsular cataract extraction (ecce) two years before case report: a 80-year-old diabetic woman presented with an exposed pc-iol in her left eye with a history of mechanical trauma. slit-lamp examination revealed an extruded pc-iol lied on the anter...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical indications and postoperative results of iris-sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens implants performed during penetrating keratoplasty. METHODS Medical records were retrospectively reviewed for preoperative indications and postoperative results of 342 consecutive patients (366 eyes) who underwent iris suturing of a posterior chamber intraocular lens impla...

purpose: to compare the results of three-piece and one- piece hydrophobic acrylic posterior chamber intraocular lens (iol) with poly methyl metacrylate (pmma) iol implanted during lensectomy, posterior capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy for congenital or developmental cataract. methods: this is a historical cohort study conducted on patients with congenital or developmental cataract who underw...

Secondary intraocular lens implantation after cataract surgery done in University Hospital between 1983 to 1993 were reviewed. Thirty three patients (37 eyes) underwent secondary intraocular lens implantation during this period. Twenty four eyes had secondary anterior chamber lens implantation while 13 had posterior chamber lens implantation. There was no case of secondary posterior scleral fix...
