Posterior chamber intraocular lenses in a series of 75 autopsy eyes Part I: Loop location

Abstract: Over a period of 27 months, November 1983 to February 1986, 75 eyes obtained postmortem with posterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) were examined at the Center for Intraocular Lens Research, University of Utah Health Sciences Center. These IOLs were studied by histopathological techniques to determine the location of the loops. The most common combination, found in 47% of the specimens, was one loop in the lens capsular sac (bag) and one loop in the ciliary sulcus. In 32% of the specimens, both loops were… Show more

“…Factors related to the position of the IOL may explain subsequent inflammatory reactions. During IOL implantation after ECCE one haptic often becomes located in the capsular bag and the other haptic in the ciliary sulcus (Apple et al 1986). The latter haptic may irritate the iris and ciliary body which have a large potential for prostaglandin synthesis (Eakins 1977).…”

“…4 Even when the surgeon is confident that the haptics were placed in the capsular intraoperatively, the haptic can slip out when the capsulorrhexis is large, as suggested by postmortem studies showing 47% haptic position asymmetry with 1 haptic in the bag and 1 in the sulcus. 5 By visualizing the anterior segment anatomy, including the position of the IOL and haptics, UBM can be a very helpful tool in elucidating the cause of postoperative complications. In such cases, localization of the lens and haptics are essential in devising treatment strategies, such as repositioning of the haptics, haptic amputation, or removal of the IOL.…”

“…Postoperatively the position of the IOL haptics is often impossible to visualize in vivo. However, in a study of autopsy eyes it was found that one of the haptics was located out of the bag in almost half of the specimens (Apple et al 1986). …”
