Abstract
- PURPOSE
To report a case of intralenticular triamcinolone complicated by intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) injection. METHODS: A 56-year-old man who presented with lens opacity in the right eye following IVTA injection as a treatment for the central retinal vein occlusion with macular edema was referred to our clinic. RESULTS: The visual acuity in his right eye was hand motion, which was not corrected. A slit lamp examination showed that the intralenticular crystalloid powder in the right eye was likely triamcinolone acetonide. Intralenticular crystalloid powder was detected during the phacoemulsification and the posterior capsule of the lens had been already ruptured. CONCLUSIONS: Lens opacity can be complicated by IVTA through intralenticular injection of triamcinolone acetonide.
