1Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences, Guangzhou 510060, China.
Purpose:
To evaluate the effect and safety of phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in eyes with Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis.
Methods:
We reviewed the 13 patients (14 eyes) with heterochromic iridocyclitis who had phacoemulsification and IOL implantation. Intraoperative and postoperative complication was observed.
Results:
Intraoperative complication included miosis and hemorrhage in anterior chamber. Postoperative complication were glaucoma and hyphemia. Best corrected postoperative visual acuity was 1.0 or better in 65% of eyes.
Conclusion:
Eyes with heterochromic iridocyclitis tolerated well to the phacoemulsification with IOL implantation.
