Traumatic extrusion of posterior chamber lenses: clinical and experimental correlations

L E Magargal et al. J Cataract Refract Surg. 1986 Nov.

Abstract

Five cases of traumatic expulsion of posterior chamber intraocular lens implants are presented. The syndrome is characterized by expulsion of the lens, iris damage, and intraocular hemorrhage. In experiments with donor human eyes we were able to reproduce the syndrome with 0.68 joules of energy, which is well below that encountered in common environmental situations.
