Histopathological changes in the trabecular meshwork with an anterior and posterior chamber intraocular lens implant after cataract surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: ACIOLs and PCIOLs in our sample group showed that there is loss of cellular components in the TM compared with the phakic eyes, with PCIOLs displaying the least amount of TM cells statistically, in this cohort. The ACIOLs led to a greater loss of corneal endothelial cells than both PCIOLs and phakic eyes after cataract surgery. The endothelial cells in Schlemm's canal did not seem to be affected by the IOL placements. Therefore, this study illustrates that there are histopathological differences seen with the placements of ACIOLs in both TM and cornea. PMID: 32585141 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
