title: [Experience with a flexible anterior chamber lens].
abstract: Clinical findings in 37 eyes in which flexible anterior chamber lenses (Symflex) had been implanted were retrospectively analyzed. Visual rehabilitation was achieved in 24 out of 26 secondary implantations following ICCE. In the first postoperative week pupillary block developed in 2 eyes and toxic lens syndrome in one. One retinal detachment occurred in the late postoperative course. Specific complications associated with the anterior chamber lens were goniosynechiae in 2 eyes and distortion of the pupil, also in 2 cases. Gonioscopic examination showed that the haptic was in the desired position, in the chamber angle, in 35 eyes. In two cases the haptic was located at the iris periphery.
