A clinicopathological report of a posterior chamber lens implant.
This report describes the clinical and pathological findings of a C-loop posterior chamber intraocular lens 73 days after implantation. The supporting loops of the optic were seated in the iridociliary sulcus for almost 300 degrees of its circumference. Morphological changes included minimal degranulation of the pigmented epithelium adjacent to the loop and moulding of the lens capsular remnant around the loop. There was no erosion into uveal tissue. These findings are discussed with reference to the shape of the haptic element of this lens.
