Abstract

Anterior chamber intraocular lenges(IOLs) are important roles in visual rehabilitation in patients with vitreous loss during cataract surgery and secondary IOLs implantations. We examined three patients among 21 cases had implanted 3M(R) style 78E ACLs, which was closed loop, semiflexible and they experienced decreased vision due to bullous Keratopathy. ACLs were removed immediately, and then scanning electron microscopy(SEM) was performed. This study shows that fibrous tissues and inflammatory cells were precipitated around loop-optic junction. So, we expect this ACLs must be avoid especially secondary ACL implantations.
