Abstract

Histopathologic changes in cornea, anterior chamber angle, iris and ciliary body of 119 autopsy eyes containing intraocular lenses are described and illustrated. Results are categorized according to type of intraocular lens (anterior chamber, iris fixation, iridocapsular, and posterior chamber), and methods of fixation are specified. Changes are categorized as: erosion, atrophy, proliferation of tissues and inflammatory reactions. In some instances, these histopathologic changes may provide a basis for understanding certain clinically evident complications.
