Abstract

A group of pseudophakic patients (21eyes) without complications, such as zonular dam age, posterior synechia and posterior capsular tear, was investigated to determine whether their implants (pharmacia, cilco, AMO) shift under the ciliary muscle stimulation. A change in anterior chamber depth between with accommodation and without accommodation was found. By presenting as accommodation stimulus to the normal fellow eye, the intraocular lens in the pseudophakic eye moved slightly in a forward direction. But, it is not enough to explain apparent accommodation in pseudophakic eyes.
