Abstract

Introduction – Anterior chamber lens are fixed with the support of iris. Primarily used as a backup lens
when there is damage to the Posterior Chamber.AC IOL is also used in refractive surgery – implanting a
lens in phakic eye to correct the refractive power.
If the lens is not optimally sized and appropriately flexible, there is an increased chance of causing
damage to the angle and iris, which can lead to chronic inflammation, elevated intraocular pressure,
uveitis/glaucoma/hyphema syndrome, corneal endothelial damage and corneal decompensation.
Abstract- patients with ac iol were followed up to detect complications early and treated as required
with antiglaucoma medication for elevated iop, ac wash for hyphema and if needed iol removal and re
implantation with sf-iol and consideration of pkp for chronic irreversible corneal decompensation in
long standing cases.

Conclusion- complications associated with ac iol can have good visual outcome if treated adequately and early
