[Phacoemulsification in eyes with Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect and safety of phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in eyes with Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis.


METHODS
We reviewed the 13 patients (14 eyes) with heterochromic iridocyclitis who had phacoemulsification and IOL implantation. Intraoperative and postoperative complication was observed.


RESULTS
Intraoperative complication included miosis and hemorrhage in anterior chamber. Postoperative complication were glaucoma and hyphemia. Best corrected postoperative visual acuity was 1.0 or better in 65% of eyes.


CONCLUSIONS
Eyes with heterochromic iridocyclitis tolerated well to the phacoemulsification with IOL implantation.
