Abstract
Deposition of a fibrin-like material leading to a membrane in the pupillary opening is described in glaucoma patients following extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. The fibrinoid reaction was observed in 4 out of 57 eyes (7%), all operated on within two years by the same surgeon (CTL). The fibrinoid reaction appeared 2 to 15 days postoperatively in glaucoma patients on whom iridoplasty or synechiolysis had been performed during surgery. It seems advisable to give such patients long-acting subconjunctival steroids at the end of the operation.
