Implantable collamer lenses (ICL) have gained popularity for correction of myopia where kerato-refractive procedures are not indicated as in cases of high myopic refractive errors. Toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) is a very uncommonly reported postoperative complication following ICL implantation. A young patient developed severe corneal oedema and anterior segment inflammation on the first day after ICL implantation. Analysing retrospectively, possible idiosyncratic response to intracameral pilocarpine was considered as a cause for TASS. Prompt and intensive therapy with oral and topical potent steroids was visually rewarding. TASS, though a sterile inflammation can have catastrophic sequelae such as corneal decompensation and secondary glaucoma. Hence, timely identification and management is important.

Objective: To report a rare case of intraocular lens (ACIOL) opacification in the anterior chamber in an adolescent and to discuss the possible mechanism of its occurrence and the ways of its prevention. Case: A 16-year-old male underwent cataract surgery for developmental cataract with placement of a foldable posterior chamber IOL in the anterior chamber. There was subsequent opacification of the IOL, which was replaced by a scleral fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens. The post-operative visual acuity improved to 6/18. Conclusion: The posterior chamber IOL implanted in the anterior chamber can get opacified possibly due to postoperative intraocular inflammation.

A total of 143 anterior chamber (AC) intra-ocular lenses (IOL) of various designs were implanted in a five-year period and followed for 18 to 76 months. The lenses were inserted as a secondary implant after extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) complicated by vitrectomy, or after primary intra-capsular extraction. The complications (corneal edema, uveitis/glaucoma, extrusion/imbedding, cystoid macular edema), the final visual acuity and the need for removal of the IOL were analyzed. Only small differences were found between the different lenses but some association was found between complicated surgery (ECCE + vitrectomy) and a higher rate of complication, poorer visual outcome and more frequent need for IOL removal. Cystoid macular edema was encountered only in cases with complicated ECCE. A high percentage of other ocular pathologies was found among the cases, possibly implying that diseased eyes are more prone to surgical complications. An alternative to the AC-IOL in cases with a ruptured posterior capsule is the suture-supported posterior chamber IOL, but the flexible-loop AC-IOL may not yet be obsolete.

As part of a retrospective sudy, 1056 eyes of 940 patients who had undergone extracapsular cataract surgery and posterior chamber IOL implantation were studied using statistical methods (chi-squared test). We studied the presence of fibrin reaction in three subgroups: diabetics without retinopathy (102 eyes), previously operated for primary open angle glaucoma “POAG” (78 eyes) and exfoliation syndrome without glaucoma (43 eyes). The results were compared for these three groups and for a group of normal individuals. The incidence of fibrin reaction was 13.7% in the diabetics, 44.8% in the group of previously operated POAG and 27.9% in the group of exfoliation syndrome without glaucoma. All the groups studied had this complication much more often than the controls (p < 0.0001). The incidence among previously operated eyes for POAG was higher than in diabetic eyes without retinopathy (p < 0.0005) and in exfoliation syndrome without glaucoma eyes (0.05 < p < 0.1). Fibrin reaction was more common in exfoliation syndrome without glaucoma than in diabetic eyes without retinopathy (p < 0.05).

Purpose. To report a new technique for sutureless intrascleral fixation of three-piece foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs) using 25-gauge trocars. Methods. We performed this technique on patients with insufficient posterior capsule support. Seventeen eyes from 15 patients with aphakia, dislocated IOL, or subluxated crystalline lens undergoing posterior chamber sutureless implantation of an IOL were studied. The haptics of the IOL were externalized using two 25-gauge forceps. The haptics were bended back (hook-like) into the vitreous cavity through a scleral incision made by using a 25-gauge trocar. And, IOL tilt was determined by using a slit lamp and UBM, and complications were recorded. Results. The IOLs were fixed with exact centration and axial stability. No wound leakage was reported even without the use of sutures. The mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.82 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) units preoperatively, and the mean BCVA was 0.44 logMAR units at the 6-month follow-up visit. No postoperative retinal detachment, endophthalmitis, IOL tilt or dislocation, or vitreous hemorrhage was noted. Conclusion. Sutureless intrascleral haptic-hook posterior chamber IOL implantation using 25-gauge trocars provides good IOL fixation with reliable wound closure without the use of sutures. This trial is registered with ChiCTR1800017436.
