ABSTRACT
1380 extracapsular cataract extractions were perfomed from January, 1987 to August, 1988 at St. Mary's Hospital. Among them 88 eyes which developed postoperative fibrinous membrane were evaluated. The incidence of fibrinous membrane was about 6.4%. The fibrinous membrane was developed in 3 to 5 days and resolved within 15 days after surgery in most cases. Mild type of fibrinous membrane was most common and was located on the surgace of the intraocular lens in most cases. Although the presumed causes of the fibrinous membrane were uncertain yet, authors thought that inflammatory reactions from the intraoperative trauma, the remained lens cortex and the posterior chamber lens itself were the causative factors.
