2998: sulcus IOL damages ciliary processes
This compelling case highlights a major hidden risk of secondary lens placement: a malpositioned sulcus IOL damaging the ciliary processes. When a patient presents with chronic inflammation, recurrent hyphema, or UGH syndrome, direct visualization is key. In this video, our guest surgeon confirms the diagnosis via intraocular endoscopy, clearly catching the offending haptic eroding into the ciliary processes. To resolve the ongoing trauma, the unstable lens is explanted and successfully replaced with a secure Yamane scleral-fixated IOL (SFIOL). Watch the video to see how endoscopy provides undeniable proof of the issue and how a sutureless transscleral approach offers an elegant long-term solution.Have you ever used endoscopy to diagnose a mysterious case of chronic postoperative inflammation?
