[The explantation and implantation of artificial crystalline lenses].

UNLABELLED: THE PURPOSE of the study is to evaluate the causes of explantation and replacement of different types of intraocular lenses. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We performed a study of 1060 eyes operated for cataract in the University Eye Hospital between 1992-1996, following the number of explantation and replacement of intraocular lenses (IOL), the types of IOL and the causes of explantation. RESULTS: We performed 8 explantation of IOL (0.75 g) for pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (1 case), chronic uveitis (3 cases), secondary glaucoma (2 cases), suppurative uveitis (1 case), cystoid macular oedema (1 case). From the 8 explantation of IOL, 3 were anterior chamber intraocular lenses (AC-IOL) and 5 posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PC-IOL). We performed reposition in 4 cases of IOL. The most frequent cause of explantation was chronic uveitis and secondary glaucoma. CONCLUSION: Explantation is indicated in certain cases of IOL complications without response on medical treatment.

Hypopyon uveitis and relapsing polychondritis: a report of 2 patients and review of autoimmune hypopyon uveitis.

OBJECTIVE: To report hypopyon uveitis as an ophthalmic finding associated with relapsing polychondritis. DESIGN: Interventional case reports. PARTICIPANTS: Two patients with hypopyon uveitis as a manifestation of relapsing polychondritis. METHODS: Complete ocular and systemic examinations as well as chart reviews were performed for 2 patients with hypopyon uveitis as a manifestation of relapsing polychondritis at presentation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Clinical observation and response to treatment in 2 patients with hypopyon uveitis secondary to relapsing polychondritis. RESULTS: A 70-year-old white male had unilateral hypopyon uveitis accompanied by a migratory polyarthralgia at presentation. Fifteen months later, he sought treatment for chondritis of the right auricle and was diagnosed with relapsing polychondritis. A 42-year-old white female with known relapsing polychondritis had bilateral hypopyon uveitis at presentation during a systemic relapse. Both patients had resolution of the hypopyon with topical and systemic steroids. CONCLUSIONS: Relapsing polychondritis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sterile hypopyon uveitis. Steroids and systemic immunosuppression can be used to treat the uveitis.
