[Severe band keratopathy following cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation].
Two similar cases of severe band keratopathy are reported that occurred about 4 weeks after routine intracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of an anterior chamber intraocular lens. The calcareous deposits were removed and analysed. The cornea remained damaged because of severe, irregular thinning. The cause of the condition could not be determined.
