title: [Chamber angle findings following implantation of "chamber angle" supported lenses of the Dubroff and Kelman-Multiflex type].
abstract: The authors examined 92 eyes after planned ICCE combined with implantation of anterior chamber lenses on average 16.5 months after surgery (range: 6 to 37 months). Two types of lenses were used, namely Kelman-Multiflex and Dubroff. The tissue reactions at the points of contact of the lens haptics in the chamber angle were classified gonioscopically. Even though it was found that reactive tissue reached the filtering trabecular meshwork in some cases (2% of haptic points of Kelman-Multiflex lenses and 15% of those of Dubroff lenses), no significant increase in intraocular pressure was observed. Comparing advantages and disadvantages as regards facility of implantation as well as the probability of hazardous tissue reactions, neither type can be said to be clearly preferable.
