Extracapsular Cataract Extraction in Fuchs' Heterochromic Iridocyclitis

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1989
We studied 15 patients with Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis who underwent extracapsular cataract extraction. Ten patients also had capsular-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. The patients were followed up for a mean of 23 months (range, six to 48 months). The clinical course and visual outcome were favorable. All patients had a
