Clinical evaluation of a case 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)
2) Conjunctival flap and subconjunctival hemorrhage ( seen only in recent cases)
3) Scleral/ Corneal incision and scar.
4) Iridodonesis (tremulous iris)
5) Jet black pupil
6) Shimmering light reflex from the IOL.
Sir jet black pupil is for aphakia..in case of pseudophakia - shining black
