Clinically unsuspected phacoanaphylaxis after ocular trauma
E. M. Perlman and D. M. Albert
Phacoanaphylaxis (lens-induced uveitis) is a potentially curable ocular
inflammation secondary to lens truma. Recently we have seen three
clinically undiagnosed enucleation specimens in our eye pathology
laboratory with this entity. Our observations add an argument to the recent
concept that early lens removal in cases of traumatic cataract with lens
capsule rupture would ultimately lead to better visual results.
