Pathologic examination of a J-loop posterior chamber intraocular lens in the ciliary sulcus.
A Shearing J-loop posterior chamber intraocular lens was implanted into an eye after an extracapsular cataract extraction. The loops were deliberately placed in the ciliary sulcus between the iris root and the ciliary processes. The patient died 11 months after surgery and the eye was obtained for pathologic study. The complete lack of inflammation in the uveal tissue where the loops of the intraocular lens had rested confirmed the benign postoperative course of this eye.
