Delayed capsular bag akreos IOL opacification after vitrectomy and gas tamponade

Akreos Adapt AO Intraocular lens opacification after vitrectomy in a diabetic patient: a case report and review of the literature

BACKGROUND Postoperative optic opacification of hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) is an uncommon complication leading to IOL explantation. In the past decade, several studies reported that the granular deposits responsible for the opacification were probably calcium and phosphate salts; however, the exact mechanism causing calcification of IOLs is unknown. The aim of this study is t...

Posterior capsular opacification prevention: IOL design and material.

Commentary Posterior capsular opacification prevention: IOL design and material

[Posterior capsule opacification, capsular bag distension syndrome, and anterior capsular phimosis: A retrospective cohort study].

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence and the risk factors involved in the development of the three main postoperative capsular complications: posterior capsule opacification (PCO), capsular bag distension syndrome (CBDS), and anterior capsular phimosis syndrome (ACP). SUBJECTS, MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 801 patients submitted to cataract surgery in the...

A case report of intraocular lens luxation with the capsular bag after vitrectomy.

We experienced a case of intraocular lens (IOL) luxation with the capsular bag after vitrectomy. The case was a 66-year-old female in whom an IOL was implanted one year after surgery for giant tear retinal detachment using silicone oil. Four years after the implantation surgery, the patient suffered subluxation of the IOL with the capsular bag. Examinations of the luxated IOL with the capsular ...
