Complications of the Copeland implant.
The Copeland lens is easy to insert, requires no intraocular suture or clip for fixation, and is rarely dislodged from its proper position. It has enjoyed long follow-up and wide usage in the United States. Properly managed, its complications are not as formidable as once believed. It remains an acceptable alternative for the intraoperative correction of surgical aphakia.
