[Special indications for endocapsular artificial lens implantation].

Report on the successful endocapsular fixation of a posterior chamber lens in two young patients with ocular anomalies (lamellar cataract and large total iridectomy; nuclear cataract and normotensive congenital glaucoma), in whom lens with chamber angle or sulcus fixation lens would have been contraindicated. Further special indications for endocapsular IOL implantation--in patients with congenital coloboma, traumatic defects of the iris, aniridia, megalocornea with enlarged anterior segment, glaucoma, and following glaucoma surgery, cystoid macular edema of the fellow eye, diabetes mellitus, blood dyscrasias, anticoagulation therapy, and progressive atrophy of the iris--are discussed.
