Goniomegaly associated with a normal cornea, increased axial length, and minimal refractive error.

Abstract

The association of a large axial length with a small refractive error and a normal corneal diameter should alert the lens implant surgeon to the possibility that goniomegaly is present. We report a patient whose intraoperative anterior chamber diameter was measured as 15 mm. It was necessary to insert a modified posterior chamber intraocular lens instead of an anterior chamber lens.
