title: Corneal dellen following cataract extraction with lens implantation.
abstract: Two cases of dellen following cataract extraction with implant insertion are described. Etiology may be based upon deprivation of nervous and vascular supplies, and possibly related to large corneal sections. Conservative therapy was found to be sufficient in restoring the corneal integrity.
