title = "Anterior polar cataracts",
abstract = "Two patients with anterior polar cataracts had bilateral cataract extractions. Three of the four extractions were extracapsular, and the anterior pole detached from the remainder of the lens in two eyes. In one eye, the pole of the lens was left in the anterior chamber, and this patient has had recurrent spontaneous hyphemas. Anterior polar cataracts appear to have weak capsules, and great care should be exercised during their extraction.",

note = "Funding Information: The patient was next seen Oct. 9, 1972, complaining of decreased visual acuity in the right eye. At that time she was noted to have 3 + cells and 1 + flare in the right anterior chamber. Her examination was otherwise unchanged. The cells and flare cleared over the next week without medications. The patient returned on March 5, 1973, again complaining of decreased vision in the right eye. This From the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut. This study was supported in part by the Ida and Louis Katz Memorial Fund through a grant from Fight for Sight, Inc., New York, New York, and by The Seeing Eye, Inc., Morristown, New Jersey.",
