Anterior chamber implant-induced complications resulted in loss of useful vision in five cases--two from uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema syndrome, two from pupillary block glaucoma, and one from neovascular glaucoma.
A retrospective study of early lens-induced complications in 509 anterior chamber lens implants was performed. The complication rate was compared with early lens-induced complications in 1,340 iris supported lens implants and 945 posterior chamber lens implants. The results indicate that posterior chamber lens implants have the fewest lens-induced complications. Lens-induced complications with anterior chamber lens implants are less frequent than with iris supported lenses. However, there is a significant potential for severe lens-induced complications with anterior chamber lenses.
