PURPOSE: To evaluate the ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) findings in @entity735 with chronic @entity86 and discuss the use of the technique in these cases. SETTING: @entity1596 Service, Department of Ophthalmology, McGill University, Montr  al, Qu  bec, Canada. METHODS: Fifty-four eyes of 51 @entity1 with chronic @entity86 were prospectively evaluated between January 1998 and September 2001. @entity1 with @entity4118 , a @entity2790 (IOL) in the posterior segment, and @entity3225 were excluded. All @entity1 had a UBM examination that comprised locating the IOL position, investigating the presence of lens remnants, and evaluating the anterior segment of the eye. RESULTS: Ultrasound biomicroscopic examination revealed IOL misplacement in 37 eyes (68.5%). Of these, 23 (62.2%) had a sulcus-implanted posterior chamber IOL (PC IOL), 9 (24.3%) an in-the-bag PC IOL, and 5 (13.5%) an anterior chamber IOL. Haptic misplacement was significantly higher with sulcus-implanted PC IOLs than with in-the-bag PC IOLs (P<.01). Other UBM findings included @entity4 ciliary body processes and hypoechogenic and/or thickened ciliary bodies in 11 eyes (20.4%), peripheral @entity735 (14.8%), a significant number of lens remnants (graded as severe) in 6 eyes (11.1%), a thick cyclitic membrane in 3 eyes (5.6%), and an early cyclitic membrane in 2 eyes (3.7%). CONCLUSIONS: Irritation of ocular tissues by an IOL was the main cause of chronic postoperative noninfectious @entity32 in @entity735 . Therefore, detecting the IOL position and its relationships to ocular tissues is very important in planning the treatment. Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a practical method that accurately provides this information.
