Abstract

The Opacification of Implanted IOL is a very unusual complication of modern cataract surgery. This study is comprised of retrospective analysis of seven Opaque IOLs explanted by the single surgeon since 2001. Onset of Opacification since IOL implantation surgery was varying from two years to seven years .Of these seven IOLs , five explanted IOLs were Hydrophilic IOLs including three were FDA approved IOLs. Remaining two IOLs were Hydrophobic including one FDA approved IOL. All eyes were subjected to the PMMA IOL implantation following explanation of Opaque IOL implant .The critical evaluation of intraoperative constraints while explanting and exchange of IOLs as well as post operative pattern was carried out in all cases. Post IOL explantation follow up was ranged from six months to three years.
