Article Synopsis
- The study focused on complications arising from phakic lens implantation due to the presence of ciliary body cysts (CBCs) in the eye.
- Researchers developed a protocol using ultrasound imaging to identify and map these cysts in patients undergoing implantable contact lens (ICL) procedures.
- The results showed a significant prevalence of CBCs (34.8%) among the patients, with some leading to complications during ICL surgery, suggesting the need for preoperative screening to ensure patient safety.
Background/objective: To describe the ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) diagnostic features in patients suspected of experiencing chronic inflammation due to phacoantigenic uveitis SUBJECTS/METHODS: This single-center study enrolled patients referred to the Uveitis Department of Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi for chronic anterior uveitis and traumatic cataract. Patients' demographics, causes and dates of the inciting traumatic event, and ophthalmic findings were recorded. 20-MHz UBM assessment of the status of the anterior capsule and the crystalline lens was performed.
