title: A histopathologic study of the position of the shearing intraocular lens in the posterior chamber.
abstract: Three human eyes that had successfully undergone Shearing posterior-chamber intraocular lens implants were examined post mortem. Supporting loops of these lenses were located deep within the ciliary body adjacent to a major ciliary artery (the superior loop in two cases), within the ciliary sulcus (the superior loop in one case), within the lens capsule bag (the inferior loop in two cases), and embedded within the iris stroma (the inferior loop in one case).
