  • Title: Anterior capsular support for posterior chamber intraocular lenses following vitreous loss in endocapsular surgery.
    Author: Jacob P, Thomas R, Sen S, Raju R.
    Journal: Indian J Ophthalmol; 1993 Apr; 41(1):15-6. PubMed ID: 8225515.
    Abstract:
    We used anterior capsular support for posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PC IOLs) in fourteen eyes with large posterior capsular ruptures. An endocapsular technique preserved the anterior capsule and facilitated implantation. With a median follow up of 8.5 months, all patients had a visual acuity of 6/9 or better. One lens was lost in the vitreous and one patient had a clinically significant cystoid macular edema. In the event of a posterior capsular rupture we suggest this technique as an alternative to anterior chamber or scleral-fixated lenses.
