Iatrogenic crystalline lens injury during intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide: A report of two cases

Figure 2 Case 1 slit lamp examinations. A: One day after injection, retroillumination showed that the suspended particles of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) formed a villiform opacity behind the posterior capsular; slit lamp examination showed a capsular channel perforation on the posterior capsule of the lens, but the lens cortex and core remained transparent; B: Two weeks after injection, retroillumination showed that the TA suspension behind the posterior capsule had a tendency to be absorbed; slit lamp examination showed that the lens cortex and core remained transparent; C: One month after injection, the TA suspension behind the posterior capsule was further absorbed; slit lamp examination showed that the lens cortex and core remained transparent; D: Eight months after injection, retroillumination showed that the TA particles were mostly absorbed, limited rice crust opacity had formed and posterior subcapsular opacification was found; slit lamp examination showed that the lens cortex and core had a slow progressive opacity; E: One week after cataract surgery, retroillumination showed that the posterior capsule had partial opacity in the upper quadrant of the nose, but no opacity in the pupil area; slit lamp examination showed that the intraocular lens was implanted in the sulcus.
