The document discusses intraocular lenses (IOLs), which are artificial lenses implanted in the eyes to replace the crystalline lens after cataract surgery or refractive surgery. It describes the parts and classification of IOLs, including early generation rigid lenses, iris-supported lenses, and later generation flexible foldable lenses. Complications related to IOL implantation and cataract surgery are also reviewed, such as those from regional anesthesia techniques like peribulbar/retrobulbar hemorrhage, and both intraoperative and postoperative complications. Recent advances and the future of IOL technology are mentioned.

WHAT IS INTRAOCULARLENS?
• An artificial lens implanted in the eyes
• Replaces the crystalline lens
• Tocorrect the optical power of the eyes following:-
Lens being
clouded by
cataract
Refractive surgery

PARTS OF ANIOL
• OPTIC
Part of the lens that focuses
light on the retina.
• HAPTIC
Small filaments connected to the optic
that hold the lens in place in the eye
HAPTEN

SECOND GENERATION IOLS
Rigid and semi-rigid anterior chamber IOLs
the anterior chamber, with fixation of the lens in the angle recess
Baron, in France, is generally credited as being the first designer and implanter of
an anterior chamber lens
ADVANTAGES
• Less decenteration
• Decreased reaction
DISADVANTAGES
• Corneal decompensation
• Pseudophakic Bullous
keratopathy
• Uveitis
• Secondary glaucoma
11.
THIRD GENERATION IOLS
Iris suppoted lens
Cornelius Binkhorst, Iris clip lens; four-loop (1957)
Iridocapsular fixation; two loop (1965)
ADVANTAGES
• Away from angle structures
• Rate of dislocation was less
• Less contact with corneal endothelium
DISADVANTAGES
• Iris chaffing
• Pupillary distortion
• Transillumination defects
• Chronic inflammation
• CME
• Distortion on pupillary dilatation
• Endothelial decompensation
12.
FOURTH GENERATION IOLS
Intermediate ACIOL
Flexible loops with multiple point of fixation
More stable
Advantages – more stable, better design, less complications
Disadvantages – anterior chamber is not the physiological site for IOL
RETROBULBAR HEMORRHAGE
Commoncomplication
Causes proptosis & raised IOP
Incidence of severe RBH = 0-3%
Reported case of CRAO *
Management
Continue with surgery if minimal
Lateral canthotomy for severe cases
