Pathological examination of an explanted phakic posterior chamber intraocular lens

Abstract

This study illustrates many pitfalls to be avoided in the design of a plate PPC IOL. The lens in this report was too large, and instead of ciliary sulcus fixation, it showed poor fixation through the zonules onto the posterior face of the pars plicata. Present and future PPC IOLs should be submitted for similar preclinical studies to clarify the type and site of fixation.
