Piggyback Intraocular Lens Implantation
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2002The piggyback method of implanting two intraocular lenses in one eye has been successfully expanded to address pseudophakic refractive error in normal eyes and eyes that have undergone post-penetrating keratoplasty. Piggyback implantation has been combined with the use of newly available minus-power lenses to provide appropriate power for a cataract ...

Intraocular lens implant exchanges
American Intra-Ocular Implant Society Journal, 1985We reviewed 23 consecutive cases of intraocular lens implant exchange. Lens dislocation (26%) and chronic intraocular inflammation (26%) were the most frequent indications for lens exchange. Post-exchange vision was best in those eyes treated for inappropriate implant power (100% less than or equal to 20/40), intermediate in dislocation cases (83% less

Bilateral Intraocular Lens Implantation
Ophthalmology, 1983A study of 1796 consecutive cataract patients in a posterior chamber intraocular lens implant (IOL) series revealed 373 patients (20.8%) who had bilateral IOLs. Visual acuity was 20/40 or better in 87% of first eyes operated and 90% in second eyes. The major cause of vision less than 20/40 was senile macular choroidal degeneration in both first and ...

Secondary intraocular lens implantation
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1987We conducted a retrospective study of our first 75 consecutive patients receiving secondary intraocular lens implants. Ninety-seven percent had postoperative visual acuities of greater than or equal to 20/40; 86%, greater than or equal to 20/25. Four percent of patients lost two or more lines of vision.

Secondary Intraocular Lens Implantation
Ophthalmology, 1983The visual, refractive, and surgical results with 190 consecutive secondary implantations of an anterior chamber intraocular lens were studied. Best-corrected postoperative visual acuity was either better than or within 1 Snellen line of best-corrected preoperative vision in 87% of the cases. Vision worsened by more than two Snellen lines in ten cases (

Piggyback intraocular lens implantation
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1998Piggyback intraocular lenses (IOLs), used in eyes requiring high IOL powers, are generally implanted in the capsular bag. Proper position of the IOL loops is, however, an unresolved issue. In this case of piggyback implantation in both eyes of a patient, the loops of the second IOL were positioned at an axis between 45 and 60 degrees away from those of

Glaucoma and intraocular lens implantation
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1986Extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation is a viable method to rehabilitate the glaucoma patient with a cataract effectively. The success with this procedure in uncomplicated cases is translated into excellent results in the glaucomatous eye.

Assessment of intraocular lens implantation in children [PDF]
American Intra-Ocular Implant Society Journal, 1982 Visual rehabilitation by conventional aphakic spectacles and contact lenses has posed a serious problem in the pediatric population. While the use of intraocular lenses has not achieved widespread acceptance as a form of aphakic correction, we have obtained encouraging results in some of our patients.

Intraocular lens implantation in children
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2000Over the past 15 years, lens implant surgery in children has disseminated so much that it is no longer a controversial issue. It has become rather a specialized topic in the widespread field of lens implantation in the general population. To match the excellent results seen in adults, issues such as the surgical technique, the choice of the lens, and ...

Cytopathology of Intraocular Lens Implantation
Ophthalmology, 1985The cytopathology of intraocular lens (IOL) following implantation is reviewed. A newly placed implant attracts macrophages and these settle on its surfaces to form optically clear membranes composed of so-called fibroblast-like cells and a film of proteinaceous material. The membranes apparently become tougher and more firmly adherent with time.
