title: [Pathology of retinal involvement in pseudophakia].
abstract: An eye with clinically successful anterior chamberlens implantation following cataract surgery was removed at autopsy after death in accordance with the wishes of a grateful patient. It was offered for corneal transplantation, and rejected for this purpose. The eye was examined pathologically. In addition to diffuse loss of corneal endothelium, a diffuse uveitis, and a reactive membrane with macrophages on the implant, a special granulomatous surface-cyclitis associated with reactive shrinkage of the vitreous, a peripheral break of the retina, and an early stage of pseudophakic macular edema were also found.
