[Ocular pathology related to intraocular lenses (author's transl)]. 1979

F M Polack

This study describes the ultramicroscopic alterations in several types of intraocular lenses removed from eyes with persistent ocular inflammation or elevated intraocular pressure. In some instances the alterations found in the lens material could have caused ocular disease. The corneal edema present in eyes with intraocular lenses sometimes is related to trauma at the trauma at the time of intraocular lens implantation. In most cases the alterations are similar to those found in Fuchs' dystrophy. The presence of warts in Descemet's membrane indicate previous corneal pathology, an obvious contraindication to the use of these devices.

D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed) Corneas
D003886 Descemet Membrane A layer of the cornea. It is the basal lamina of the CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM (from which it is secreted) separating it from the CORNEAL STROMA. It is a homogeneous structure composed of fine collagenous filaments, and slowly increases in thickness with age.

D005901 Glaucoma An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.
