Late traumatic wound dehiscence after phacoemulsification

P Routsis et al. J Cataract Refract Surg. 2000 Jul.

Abstract

Scars from scleral tunnel or clear corneal incisions for phacoemulsification should theoretically be stronger than the larger incisions of planned extracapsular cataract extraction. They should also be more resistant to blunt trauma. We present a case of scleral tunnel wound dehiscence and expulsion of a posterior chamber silicone intraocular lens after blunt trauma.
