Core Tip
Core tip: Iatrogenic crystalline lens injury is a rare complication caused by improper manipulation during surgical procedures. We report two cases of crystalline lens injury during intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide. The site of lens injury and clinical manifestations were different in the two cases. Symptomatic treatment and continuous follow-up were carried out. We hope to provide an insight into this treatment.
