“…In Finland, AC IOLs have never been used as 'the lens of choice', and therefore, the proportion of pseudophakic bullous keratopathy has been smaller. In the present series, so far, no cases of corneal decompensation have been observed although the endothelial cell density in eyes with an AC IOL was found to be significantly lower than in the unoperated fellow eyes or in eyes with a PC IOL [9]. In a prospective series of AC IOL implantation in uncomplicated cataract surgery Anmarkrud et al [17] saw corneal oedema in six of 43 ICCE operated eyes and in none of 20 ECCE cases.…”

“…Four of the five eyes achieved, however, a final visual acuity of 0.5 or better, in one eye the latest visual acuity was 0.4 [8] ( Table 2). Comparison of the endothelial cell counts showed that the endothelial cell density in eyes with an AC IOL was significantly lower than in unoperated fellow eyes or in fellow eyes having a PC IOL after uncomplicated surgery [9].…”

The long-term visual outcome and complications related to the use of a semiflexible open-loop alI-PMMA anterior chamber intraocular lens were evaluated in 40 eyes in which the capsular support was lost. The mean follow up time was 2.3 years (range 6 months to 6.7 years). 55% of the eyes had exfoliation syndrome. 68% (27 of 40 eyes) obtained a visual acuity of 0.5 or better, and only in one of the remaining eyes decreased visual acuity was related to cataract surgery (cystoid macular oedema). No cases of corneal decompensation, uveitis-glaucoma-hyphaema syndrome or retinal detachment have developed, and no IOLs have been explanted. Based on these results, the use of a modern anterior chamber intraocular lens can be suggested at least in old persons, if the capsular support is lost.
