  • Title: [Capsular lesions in extracapsular cataract operation and implantation of posterior chamber lenses].
    Author: Pham Duy T, Wollensak J, Bauer C.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1988 Jul; 193(1):25-8. PubMed ID: 3184736.
    Abstract:
    The present paper reports follow-up findings up to five years postoperatively in 41 cases following capsular-zonular rupture with implantation of a posterior chamber lens after extracapsular cataract extraction. Capsular disruption occurred most frequently (in 32 cases) during cortical aspiration. The capsular defects were localized in the periphery in 18 cases and in the central area in ten. Dialysis of the zonular fibers was seen in 13 cases. The intraocular lens (IOL) was well centered in 30 eyes and slightly off-center in seven. Only two cases with decentered IOLS required surgical centering of the lenses. In two eyes dislocation of the IOL into the vitreous was observed. Cystoid macular edema developed in two cases. In five cases retinal detachment occurred.
