“…Electron microscopic analysis of several explanted IOLs have shown surface manufacturing irregularities. 10 No manufacturing defects were observed on the explanted rigid AC IOL in our case. Although we cannot confirm this, the IOLs may not have been properly placed or sized.…”

After bilateral implantation of an angle-supported anterior chamber intraocular lens (AC IOL) in an allergic patient, the haptic tips were exposed through the limbus in the left eye. Endophthalmitis developed in the eye and was treated by pars plana vitrectomy, IOL extraction, and intravitreal antibiotic injection. Haptic repositioning was performed in the right eye. In this report, we assess the possibility that exposure of the angle-supported AC IOL haptics caused the endophthalmitis. We hypothesized that vigorous rubbing of the eye of the atopic patient might cause limbal erosion that could lead to exposure of the angle-supported AC IOL haptic through the limbus.

In order to find a difference in the biocompatibility of different IOL-materials we examined the lens-surface of poly(methylmetacrylate)-(PMMA-), heparin surface-modified PMMA-(HSM-PMMA-) and hydrogel-IOLs in a prospective study by specular microscopy. Documentation consisted of cellular reaction, precipitates on the lens-surface and irregularities of the IOL-material. Early postoperative on HSM-PMMA and hydrogel-IOLs there were fewer fibroblast-like cells as compared to PMMA-IOLs. In the later postoperative period foreign body giant cells were seen on PMMA-IOLs in 26.6%, on HSM-PMMA and hydrogel-IOLs in less than 10% of the cases. In cases with increased postoperative inflammation or contact between uveal tissue and lens-surface we found more cells and in a higher percentage. Concerning precipitates on the surface and material irregularities we also found lens-specific differences. Clinical results were satisfactory for all lens-types.
