Adhesions to manufacturer's trademark on the surface of a posterior chamber lens.
A case is reported in which posterior synechiae to the manufacturer's trademark on the surface of a Shearing intraocular lens were noted ten days after the implantation of the lens. After a short course of low-concentration miotic therapy, the adhesions were broken. We concluded that irregularities on the surface of the lens, such as a manufacturer's trademark, provide a focus for synechiae. We suggest that intraocular lens manufacturers refrain from providing such identification on their products.
