Аннотация
BACKGROUND: We report on three patients who showed a rare complication, centripetal membranous proliferation from the posterior capsulotomy edge onto the posterior surface of an intraocular lens (IOL), 3 to 6 months after neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy.
CASES: These three patients had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, retinitis pigmentosa, and sarcoidosis, respectively, prior to cataract surgery.
OBSERVATIONS: Elschnig's pearls developed in the eyes of all three patients after cataract surgery, and were treated by Nd:YAG laser. However, membranous proliferation continued, and Nd:YAG laser treatment was required a second time to disrupt the proliferating fibrous membrane and achieve resolution of the patients' symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: Common factors in our cases and cases in the literature were that the IOLs were biconvex and made of polymethyl methacrylate. Ophthalmologists should be aware that after cataract surgery, lens epithelial cells can proliferate onto any surface that provides adequate protein nourishment.
