摘要
The increased use of phacoemulsification and small incision surgery has led to interest in a soft intraocular lens (IOL) for implantation after cataract extraction. We present the pathologic findings of seven eyes obtained postmortem from five patients with silicone IOLs. Length of implantation ranged from 6 weeks to 13 months. There was symmetric bag-bag fixation in all cases. Two IOLs had distorted and compressed polypropylene loops, resulting in decentration. The silicone IOL appeared to be well tolerated in all cases.
