"In the bag": Shearing intraocular lens implantation in a patient with multiple severe coagulopathies.
In patients with coagulation defects, the use of posterior chamber lens implanted within the capsular bag after extracapsular cataract extraction appears to be well suited for the avoidance of long-term hemorrhagic complications. Bleeding tendencies during and following surgery can be managed medically with careful collaboration of a hematologist or coagulationist. This patient's multifaceted coagulopathy was easily manageable by treating each component as a separate entity. It is our present view that the vast majority of patients with severe coagulopathy can safely undergo cataract surgery and can be considered for intraocular lens implantation.
