a

Kaplan-Meier estimates.

b

Models adjusted for glaucoma history and race

IOLs: 288 posterior chamber, 8 sutured posterior chamber, and 3 anterior chamber. Graft failure rate was similar in an analysis limited to posterior chamber IOLs

d

IOLs:195 posterior chamber, 3 sutured posterior chamber, and 4 anterior chamber. Graft failure rate was similar in an analysis limited to posterior chamber IOLs

e

Pre-operatively, 13 aphakic, 8 phakic, and 1 pseudophakic

f

Pre-operatively, 213 pseudophakic and 5 aphakic

g

Pre-operatively, 45 pseudophakic and 9 aphakic

h

Pre-operatively, 85 pseudophakic and 4 aphakic. IOLs: 87 anterior chamber and 2 iris-fixated.

i

Pre-operatively, 2 pseudophakic and 6 aphakic
