Diagnosis: bullous keratopathy following intracapsular cataract surgery

Image Comments:

The photo shows a late stage of bullous keratopathy. The surgery appears to have been done well, but the cornea was not able to tolerate the procedure. Notice the perfectly healed von Graefe limbal incision. No sutures were used by the surgeon.

This is a computer manipulated version of photo 1. It enhances the visibility of the iris.
