Barrier Deprivation Syndrome. A case report.
A case has been presented where uncomplicated intracapsular cataract extraction and smooth implantation of a Copeland lens was followed by CME, later by CED. The process was stopped by performing a penetrating corneal graft and replacing the offending lens with a Medallion two-loop Medical Workshop lens. The case seems to support Binkhorst's theory of Membrane Deprivation Syndrome and Worst's findings of Decompartmentalization of the Eye.
