Abstract

We report a case of toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) after implantation of a Verisyse (AMO) iris-supported phakic intraocular lens (IOL). The patient presented the day after surgery with significant decreased visual acuity and severe, persistent, limbus-to-limbus corneal edema. After treatment with topical steroids, oral steroids, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents, and hypertonic solution, the edema resolved over the course of 2 months and best corrected visual acuity improved to 20/20. Toxic anterior segment syndrome has been reported after implantation of IOLs previously, but this new case of TASS should alert surgeons to the possibility of the syndrome after phakic IOL placement.
