Intraocular lens implantation following cataract extraction in Fuchs' heterochromic uveitis.
The results of intraocular lens implantation in eight cases of cataract secondary to heterochromic uveitis are presented. Follow-up was from 16 months to two years (mean 22 months). Visual acuity was restored to 6/9 or better in six cases and 6/18 in one, but remained hand movements in the remaining case. Postoperative complications included the development of inflammatory pupillary membranes, vitreous haze, and increased intraocular pressure.
