Our cases indicate that adjunctive treatment with top-
presence and exact location of ILFB and its relation to
ical CSA (0.05%) and MMC (0.01%) prevents tumor
the intact posterior capsule as well as the postoperative
recurrence and provides excellent ocular surface healing in
IOL positioning. This helped in better planning of man-
patients who have tumor-positive margins following surgi-
agement of traumatic cataract with ILFB. CONCLUSIONS: Pentacam is a potential tool for accurate localization of foreign bodies lodged in the lens and pro- vides an objective basis for better patient counseling and surgical planning. (Am J Ophthalmol 2006;142:
