    Abstract:
    Cataract removal with implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) was performed in 66 cases of Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis. After an average postoperative follow-up of 40 months (6 months to 10 years, 81.6% of cases obtained visual acuity superior or equal to 5/10 (16.6% with a final visual acuity of 10/10). Thirty cases were analysed, 27 had satisfactory binocular vision. Two complications explained this limited visual performance: vitreal disorders observed in 45.5% of cases were responsible for visual acuity inferior or equal to 5/10 in 23% of cases, glaucoma observed in 12.1% of cases (3 cases were secondary to cataract surgery), 25% of these patients with glaucoma lost all visual acuity and 62.5% had a high intraocular pression uncontrolled by surgery (5 cases). Other risk factors were less important: loss of transparency of intraocular lens caused by precipitates observed in one case, Irvine-Gass syndrome and retinal detachment observed in one case. The restoration of satisfactory binocular vision justifies the risks of intraocular lens implantation in cases of Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis.
