Lens-induced complications with anterior chamber lens implants: a comparison with iris supported and posterior
Journal - American Intra-Ocular Implant Society
|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
A retrospective study of early lens-induced complications in 509 anterior chamber lens implants was performed. The complication rate was compared with early lens-induced complications in 1,340 iris supported lens implants and 945 posterior chamber lens implants. The results indicate that posterior chamber lens implants have the fewest lens-induced complications. Lens-induced complications with anterior chamber lens implants are less frequent than with iris supported lenses. However, there is a significant potential for severe lens-induced complications with anterior chamber lenses.
