Histologic findings after successful posterior chamber lens implantation.
The eyes of a 50-year-old diabetic hypertensive woman who had had successful bilateral cataract surgery with posterior chamber lens implantation were examined post mortem. On gross examination, each eye was found to contain a Simcoe-style C-loop lens with its optic centered satisfactorily and its inferior loop in the capsular bag. In the right eye the superior loop was in the ciliary sulcus; in the left eye most of the superior loop was in the ciliary sulcus but its distal end was in the capsular bag. Histologic sections confirmed the location of the haptics.
