Juxtafacet cysts are an uncommon cause of radiculopathy. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice with low rates of complications, recurrences, and residual complaints.
Uneventful small-incision cataract surgery was performed in a 70-year-old man and a 62-year-old woman with implantation of a Tecnis Z9000 intraocular lens (IOL) (Pharmacia). No ocular pathology was present in the patients preoperatively. Unsolicited complaints of negative dysphotopsia were made postoperatively, and the symptoms have persisted for more than 1 year in both patients. Symptomatic negative dysphotopsia may be seen in association with the Z9000 IOL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
