Abstract | PURPOSE: To describe a rare complication of classical EEC technique with posterior chamber IOL implantation in the sulcus. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of 296 eyes which underwent EEC and CP implantation. None was operated with phacoemulsification. The posterior chamber IOL originated from 4 renowned manufacturers. RESULTS: In 25 eyes, at 2 to 7 month after surgery, we noticed a mydriasis with pupillary areflexia, though the majority (20 eyes) presented a miotic pupil in the days following surgery. CONCLUSION: The authors discuss possible causes of such a delayed complication: direct trauma of the iris, difficult haptic introduction in the sulcus, toxic material on the i., o.l. More probably the interaction of more than a cause is necessary for this delayed complication.
