Two patients developed cataract following iridocyclectomy for iris melanoma invading the angle. Although several clock hours of zonular fibers had been surgically resected, the use of a continuous, circular capsulorhexis followed by phacoemulsification maintained the integrity of the anterior capsular margin and allowed for stable "in-the-bag" placement of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL). Continuous, circular capsulorhexis is the optimal anterior capsulectomy procedure, minimizing the incidence of radial tears and the risk of subsequent PC-IOL decentration. |
