[Specular microscopy in the diagnosis of the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome].

Irido-corneal endothelial syndrome regroups three disorders including: endotheliopathy, peripheral anterior synechiae and iris changes. According to the aspect of these abnormalities, three syndromes are described: essential iris atrophy, Chandler's syndrome and iris naevus (Cogan-Reese) syndrome. Endothelial changes studied by specular microscopy are typical: in early stages, a rounding off cell angles and intracellular blackout areas can be seen; in former stages, black out areas increase and there is a disruption of the regular mosaic. These features are a major point for differential diagnosis. We present six cases reports among which three where effectively diagnosed as iridocorneal endothelial syndrome and three were not.

[Complications of Stableflex anterior chamber intraocular lens implants. Apropos of 150 cases].

Stableflex (ORC) is a PMMA anterior chamber intraocular lens with closed and flexible loops permitting the philosophy of "one size fits all" in 90% of the eyes. Late complications lead to marketing interruption in the USA in July 1987. In a review of 150 cases, we study the occurrence of complications: corneal decompensation (4.5%), iridocorneal angle modification, cystoid macular edema (6.7%), explantation (n = 6). These observations suggest implications of physiopathological mechanisms which are examined.
