RECENT ADVANCES AND THE FUTURE
4. WHAT IS INTRAOCULAR LENS?
• An artificial lens implanted in the eyes
• Replaces the crystalline lens
• Tocorrect the optical power of the eyes following:-
Lens being
clouded by
cataract
Refractive surgery
5. PARTS OF AN IOL
• OPTIC
Part of the lens that focuses
light on the retina.
• HAPTIC
Small filaments connected to the optic
that hold the lens in place in the eye
HAPTEN

10. SECOND GENERATION IOLS
Rigid and semi-rigid anterior chamber IOLs
the anterior chamber, with fixation of the lens in the angle recess
Baron, in France, is generally credited as being the first designer and implanter of
an anterior chamber lens
ADVANTAGES
• Less decenteration
• Decreased reaction
DISADVANTAGES
• Corneal decompensation
• Pseudophakic Bullous
keratopathy
• Uveitis
• Secondary glaucoma
11. THIRD GENERATION IOLS
Iris suppoted lens
Cornelius Binkhorst, Iris clip lens; four-loop (1957)
Iridocapsular fixation; two loop (1965)
ADVANTAGES
• Away from angle structures
• Rate of dislocation was less
• Less contact with corneal endothelium
DISADVANTAGES
• Iris chaffing
• Pupillary distortion
• Transillumination defects
• Chronic inflammation
• CME
• Distortion on pupillary dilatation
• Endothelial decompensation
12. FOURTH GENERATION IOLS
Intermediate ACIOL
Flexible loops with multiple point of fixation
More stable
Advantages – more stable, better design, less complications
Disadvantages – anterior chamber is not the physiological site for IOL
15. CLASSIFICATION
Complications of anesthesia
General anesthesia
Regional / Local anesthesia
Intraoperative
Early postoperative
Late postoperative
18. RETROBULBAR HEMORRHAGE
Common complication
Causes proptosis & raised IOP
Incidence of severe RBH = 0-3%
Reported case of CRAO *
Management
Continue with surgery if minimal
Lateral canthotomy for severe cases
