Abstract

Purpose: We want to analyze an infrequently complication of extracapsular cataract extractions (EEC) and insertions of posterior chamber IOL, characterized by limbus inflammation by nylon suture. Methods: We report 3 patients who underwent EEC (one person with both eyes) in our hospital. All the cases were connected with a nylon's monofilament suture and we realized the incision at the capilar cornea. Results: We observed a limbus inflammation in the area adjacent to the suture and the presence of a exudation around of the suture path. One of the patient (the person with both eyes) had more inflammation in the second eye. This process formed a relaxation of the suture and subsequent against-the-rule astigmatism was observed after the healing process. Culture and smear results were negative and the process finished with the usual therapy.
