“…Although the treatment of retinal pathology associated with leukocoria may not be possible, monitoring intractable conditions would provide prognostic information regarding the lifespan of the eye. In eyes with leukocoria and useful visual potential, 4 a near infrared–transmitting IOL would be advisable for structural monitoring of the posterior segment.…”

We describe a 40-year-old woman with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, secondary chronic exudative retinal detachment, and white cataract with consequent leukocoria. Because the cataract was contracted and calcified, a black Morcher 85F poly(methyl methacrylate) IOL was implanted in the ciliary sulcus anterior to the lens to prevent posterior capsule rupture and potential destabilization of the retinal detachment with a risk for phthisis. Excellent centration of the black IOL was achieved with good cosmetic outcome and without postoperative uveitis or glaucoma. We suggest that this is a rare indication for implantation of an IOL designed for the sulcus but in the presence of the crystalline lens. This approach makes IOL removal, if necessary at a later date, relatively straightforward.Financial DisclosureNo author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned.

Professor Peter Choyce, FRCS, DOMS, MS, was one of the pioneers of intraocular lens implant surgery. He developed an interest in artificial lens implantation following cataract surgery, a procedure that was widely criticized by the ophthalmic establishment in the UK, Europe, North America and other countries. Owing to the opposition to the intraocular lenses, Peter Choyce together with Sir Harold Ridley co-founded the International Intraocular Implant Club in 1966, which was responsible for the gradual acceptance of artificial lens implantation. Peter Choyce developed several models of intraocular lens, but did not patent the majority of them. The Choyce Mark IX, manufactured by Rayner Intraocular Lenses, became the first US Food and Drug Administration-approved intraocular lens in 1981. A review of Peter Choyce's record confirms a significant number of original innovations in the field of anterior segment surgery, including many procedures taken for granted today, but not associated with his name. These include early work on both kerato- and intraocular lens-refractive procedures, keratoprosthesis, pioneering paediatric implant procedures and others. Unfortunately his tenacious adherence to anterior chamber lens technology, while in general clinically sound, caused many to question his influence and hence he remained poorly understood even until after his death. He passed away on 8 August 2001 after a long fight with colon cancer. In this article, we provide evidence and elaborate Peter Choyce's accomplishments, which places him as one of the most innovative ophthalmologist in his surgical field in the twentieth century.

“…Occlusive intraocular lenses (IOLs) are an effective therapeutic option in patients with intractable diplopia, 1,2 visual confusion, 3 and unsightly leucocoria. 4 Although therapeutic occlusion can be achieved with patching, tarsorrhaphy, keratopigmentation, 5,6 or scleral contact lenses, 7 occlusive IOLs are inconspicuous once implanted and are associated with high rates of postoperative patient satisfaction. 7 However, there have been concerns that the inability to visualize the posterior segment may allow important pathology, such as a choroidal melanoma, to remain unidentified.…”
