The histopathology of intraocular lenses.
Seventeen eyes from patients who had had successful intraocular lens surgery were obtained after the patients died: 14 posterior chamber lenses, 2 anterior chamber lenses, and 1 iris fixation lens. None of these lenses showed significant inflammatory reaction or scarring. Despite iris tucking in the eyes with anterior chamber lenses and asymmetrical supporting loop location in the eyes with posterior chamber lenses, the intraocular lenses seemed to function well.
