Abstract
Background Brown-McLean syndrome is a rare corneal presentation usually resulting from intracapsular cataract extraction or multiple anterior segment surgeries and the passage of time. Case reports Two patients presented to our clinic with Brown-McLean syndrome. Both had undergone intracapsular cataract extraction with peripheral iridectomies many years before their current examinations. Conclusions Brown-McLean syndrome can be overlooked or misdiagnosed. Although intracapsular cataract extraction is rare in this country today, eye doctors should be made aware of its presence and potential side effects.
