Management of anterior segment complications of intraocular lenses.

Corneal edema was found in 24 of 43 eyes with anterior segment complications of intraocular lenses. Keratoplasty was performed in 20 eyes. Three eyes required other surgical therapy for edema while medical treatment of edema was done in one case. Thirty-two lenses were removed because of pain, inflammation, bleeding or glaucoma. Nineteen of these were removed at the time of keratoplasty. Three eyes were enucleated because of absolute glaucoma, retinal detachment and endophthalmitis.
