The Shearing intraocular lens: a report of 1,000 cases.
Implantation of Shearing and Shearing-style J-loop posterior chamber lenses in 1000 cases was associated with an absence of corneal decompensation and a low incidence of glaucoma, cystoid macular edema, iritis, vitritis and retinal detachment. The low complication rate was attributed to the posterior chamber position of the J-loop lens, which may reduce the movement of intraocular fluid and tissue.
