Abstract

Epithelial downgrowth following intraocular surgery is uncommon but serious. Various forms of Epithelialization of the anterior chamber occur including cysts, pearl tumour of the iris, and sheet‐like downgrowth. The presentation is now always typical. Three such cases are reported. Epithelialization in these cases presented as endophthalmitis, a persistent fistula, and as an unexpected finding at keratoplasty done in a stable eye with bullous keratopathy. Although the condition is usually progressive, early diagnosis and treatment can produce good results. Key words: epithelial downgrowth, fistula, endophthalmitis, bullous keratopathy, keratoplasty.
