Evaluation of Pseudophakia

Pseudophakia is a term used to describe the condition wherein an artificial intraocular lens is implanted after surgery for cataract.

On history - History of cataract surgery present.

On examination -

1) Deep Anterior Chamber (the posterior support for the iris is lost as the IOLs are thinner that the natural lens)

3) Scleral/ Corneal incision and scar.
4) Iridodonesis (tremulous iris)
