[Clinico-pathologic evaluation of one type of intraocular lens]

Four intraocular lenses of Saturn type (extrapupillar iris lens fixated in the posterior chamber) were surgically removed when bullous pseudophakic keratopathy was present, without loss of the eye-bulb, during the period of 2-6.5 years after the performed implantation. Cytologic examination of the surface of the implanted lens displayed the individual tolerance of the implant in various patients. In all cases on the surface of the lenses there was observed a reactive membrane, also in the cases of the low biological tolerance.
