摘要: • Anterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) provide good visual rehabilitation of aphakia in a majority patients. An increasing number eyes with closedloop, semiflexible anterior implants are now being seen decreased vision due to corneal edema and persistent cystoid macular edema. We evaluated 53 such 52 patients who presented one 51 months (average, 15 months) after lens implantation. The most frequent implanted was the Surgidev Style 10 Leiske IOL. Surgery for IOL removal or exchange without penetrating keratoplasty performed 34 (64%) eyes; acuity recovery ranged from 20/20 hand motions 20/80). Despite clear grafts 24 (92%) 26 that underwent transplantation, 20/ 40 better obtained only nine (26%). Based on intractable inflammatory sequelae associated closed-loop IOLs, we strongly urge discontinuation their use.
