Abstract;We reviewed the clinical course of inadvertently reversely implanted acrylic intraocular lens(IOL) in the capsular bag in 3 eyes. The visual acuity improved in 2 eyes and remained unchanged in one eye with diabetic maculopathy. There was a myopic shift by an average of 1.54 diopter than the predicted value at 1 week after surgery. it decreased to 1.2 diopter at 2 to 4 months after surgery to remain stationary thereafter. The anterior chamber depth in the 3 eyes at 13 to 18 months was shallower by 14% than that in the fellow eyes which received normally implanted IOLs. The 3 eyes showed postoperative decrease in endothelial cell density by less than 2%. partial pupillary capture developed in 1 eye. The 3 eyes showed no other complications which might cause visual impairment including hyphema, persistent iritis, fibrin reaction, elevated intraocular pressure, corneal edema, macular edema or aftercataract.
