Reactive membrane on a foldable silicone lens implant in the posterior chamber of a human eye

1989 Jan.
Abstract
A foldable silicone posterior chamber intraocular lens implant caused irritation and glaucoma postoperatively in the eye of a diabetic patient who subsequently was treated with steroids and a laser capsulotomy. Because the lens implant was loose in the capsular bag and caused considerable glare, it was removed about 4 months after placement. Pathologic study revealed the entire surface of the implant to be covered by a continuous and firmly adherent protein membrane with excrescences and of irregular thickness. Sessile macrophages found on the membrane were not firmly attached.
