Gonioscopic Changes after posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation

The aim of this work was to evaluate the morphological changes of the anterior chamber angle seen gonioscopically after posterior chamber intra-ocular lens [PC.IOL] implantation. This work included 20 eyes [16 patients] which were all operated by the extracapsular cataract extraction technique with [PC.IOL.] implantation. all eyes were subjected to pre-operative and post-operative pre-dilatation gonoscopic examination in all quadrants using Goldmann 3 mirror contact lens in a duration ranging from 6 weeks up to 6 months after surgery. The results of gonioscopic examination in our study revealed peripheral anterior synechia in 45%, pigment dispersion in 75% and patches of iris atrophy were observed in 40% of eyes

Evaluation of corneal endothelium after AC IOL

Thirty three eyes were examined by the speclar microscope before and after intracapsular cataract extraction and implantation of anterior chamber semiflexible intraocular lens. Follow for 6 months was done demonstrating a continuous cell loss amounting to 48% after 6 months

Management of dense membranous after cataract by vitreous cutter through a limbal approach

Twenty six consequetive cases [27 eyes] with dense membranous after cataract had been operated upon; using vitreous cutter through a limbal approach in a period between March, 1984- Dec., 1984. The follow up periods varying between 9 months - 11/2 year. Anatomically, all patients regained a wide clear pupillary area with a quiescent recovery period. Visual acuity was 6/18 or better in 80% of cases. Cases with non improvement of visual acuity were due to pre-existing retinal or macular diseases. Thus in conclusion, vitreous cutter [limbal appraoch] can be a very useful tool against dense membranous after cataract
