Abstract EN
We present a case of fulminant panuveitis following iris suture fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens.
We hypothesize that the zonular dehiscence allowed the inflammatory cells in the anterior compartment to gain access to the posterior segment mimicking endophthalmitis or toxic anterior segment syndrome.
Also certain bulky lens designs, like the current Rayner hydrophilic acrylic lens, are difficult to manipulate and hold in the optic capture position, and hence the iris fixation of these lenses can be traumatic and lengthy.
It is advised to exchange such lenses with 3-piece intraocular lenses that are easy to fixate.
