Pseudoexfoliation and Opacification of Intraocular Lenses
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE To report two cases of spoke-like intraocular lens (IOL) opacification that resembles pseudoexfoliation of the crystalline lens. METHODS Case series presentation. RESULTS Patient 1 developed a circle of spoke-like opacification on the anterior IOL surface 7 years after phacoemulsification. Patient 2 had paracentral anterior surface IOL opacification 18 months after cataract extraction and clinical pseudoexfoliation in the fellow eye. CONCLUSION Spoke-like anterior IOL opacification should raise the suspicion of pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

Late Opacification of Foldable Intraocular Lenses
Objective: To report opacification of hydrophilic acrylic and silicone foldable intraocular lenses (IOL). Designs: Case series. Participants: Five patients with IOL opacification. Results: We report five eyes of five patients with late opacification of the intraocular lens (IOL). Three patients had hydrophilic acrylic (SC60B-OUV-MDR, Inc), two had silicone IOL (Allergan SI30NB). Two out of the ...
متن کاملOpacification of hydrophilic intraocular lenses after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty
PURPOSE Opacification of hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) is an emerging complication following Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). We report six cases and review the current literature. METHODS In this retrospective, noncomparative, observational case series, patients with IOL opacification after previous DSAEK surgery were identified from corneal clin...
متن کاملPseudoexfoliation material on posterior chamber intraocular lenses
The presence of pseudoexfoliation material on the surface of an intraocular lens (IOL) is a rare finding. We report a series of seven cases with different patterns of pseudoexfoliation material deposition on the posterior chamber IOLs, recognized 2-20 years after cataract surgery. Six patients had an IOL implanted in the capsular bag and one in the ciliary sulcus. Two patients had undergone pos...
متن کاملComparison of hydrophobic and hydrophilic intraocular lens in preventing posterior capsule opacification after cataract surgery
BACKGROUND Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is a common long-term complication of cataract surgery. Intraocular lens design and material have been implicated in influencing the development of PCO. This study evaluated the association of hydrophobic and hydrophilic intraocular lenses on preventing PCO. METHODS Medline, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases were searched until Au...
متن کاملPiggyback intraocular lens implantation.
The piggyback method of implanting two intraocular lenses in one eye has been successfully expanded to address pseudophakic refractive error in normal eyes and eyes that have undergone post-penetrating keratoplasty. Piggyback implantation has been combined with the use of newly available minus-power lenses to provide appropriate power for a cataract patient with keratoconus, as well as to corre...
