Article Synopsis
- The study aims to highlight the ocular complications arising from improperly placed Kelman Multiflex anterior chamber intraocular lenses (ACIOL) during cataract surgery.
- It reviews four cases where an inverted ACIOL led to several serious issues, such as chronic iritis, cystoid macular edema, and corneal decompensation.
- The authors emphasize the importance of correct lens orientation during insertion to prevent these complications, noting that the lens should be positioned with the optic facing forward.
Purpose: To investigate the ability of a portable pupillometer, capable of 20-second binocular recordings of the swinging flashlight test (SFT), to detect relative afferent pupillary defects (rAPDs).
Methods: Pupillary response curves were recorded from both eyes in healthy volunteers (n = 22) with and without simulated rAPDs (using neutral density filters (NDFs)) and in abnormal patients (n = 24) with clinically graded rAPDs. The light stimulus (0.
Pupillary block glaucoma associated with a secondary piggyback intraocular lens.

A 53-year-old woman developed pupillary block glaucoma associated with iris capture of a piggyback intraocular lens (IOL) that was treated with laser peripheral iridotomy. The piggyback IOL was repositioned by dilating the iris pharmacologically and reclining the patient. The IOL maintained its proper position behind the iris with the use of low-concentration pilocarpine eyedrops.

One week later, ophthalmoscopy revealed inferior optic nerve edema with splinter hemorrhages consistent with an anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) and a new cholesterol plaque near the macula. There was no clinical, serologic, or pathologic evidence of giant cell arteritis.

Methods: A 53-year-old man who underwent right eye penetrating keratoplasty in 1970 for keratoconus and removal of an iris cyst in 1977 developed epithelial downgrowth 25 years after cyst removal.
Results: The area of epithelial downgrowth was initially treated with cryotherapy.
