Complications in posterior chamber lens implantation

Posterior chamber lens implantations may be accompanied by intraocular operative complications, such as miosis, rupture of posterior capsule, incomplete capsulectomy, vitreous loss, or remaining lens material and some more. Postoperative complications can be a pupillary block, narrow anterior chamber, uveitis, lens or vitreous material in the anterior chamber, endophthalmitis, keratopathy or difficulties caused by malposition of the lens. As late sequelae of the intraocular lens implantation procedure secondary membranes can be observed as well as corneal edema, cystoid macular edema or retinal detachment.
