Posterior synechiae in extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior-chamber intraocular lenses.

Posterior synechiae formation was studied in 294 consecutive cases of extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior-chamber intraocular lens implantation. The synechiae are mainly a cosmetic blemish and may hinder future pupillary dilation. Formation can be reduced by elimination of the iridectomy, elimination of routine mydriatic drops, and minimization of iris trauma at the time of surgery.

A successful treatment for aphakic cystoid macular edema.

Twenty-eight consecutive cases of aphakic cystoid macular edema in 16 patients were treated with corticosteroid drops. Enough medication was used in each occurrence to achieve intraocular pressure elevation. This increases the hydrostatic pressure on the retina thereby decreasing retinal swelling pressure and reversing the cystoid macular edema. Visual acuity improved in each instance after resolution of the cystoid macular edema.
