[Anatomy of the ciliary sulcus].
The space between the posterior surface of the base of the iris and the anterior surface of the ciliary body - the ciliary sulcus - and the capsular bag are the sites for a posterior chamber lens implant after extracapsular cataract extraction. In human cadaver eyes and in eyes after cataract extraction, the exact topographical relationship of the ciliary sulcus and the surrounding tissue was analyzed. The anatomical findings and important variations are documented by light microscopy and macrophotography and the relationship to lens implantation is discussed.
