Highlights
Angle-supported, Kelman-type anterior chamber intraocular lenses are implanted for correction of aphakia in eyes with insufficient capsular bag support, e.g. following complicated cataract surgery [1,2]
This is to our knowledge the first report of a spontaneous, in vivo fracture of a last-generation, angle-supported Kelman-type anterior chamber intraocular lenses (acIOL)
The precise mechanism cannot be determined, possible explanations are the presence of a manufacturing defect, corrosion of the IOL material and surgical handling causing micro-fissures to the IOL material during cataract surgery
Summary
Spontaneous Fracture of an Angle-Supported Anterior Chamber Polymethylmethacrylate Intraocular Lens: A.
