Popis: Purpose To report a cluster of cases of toxic anterior-segment syndrome (TASS) in eyes implanted with a specific foldable acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) model. Design Retrospective case series. Methods The medical records were reviewed for 7 eyes of 4 patients diagnosed with TASS after cataract surgery at Shimane University and Matsue Red Cross Hospital between July and November 2020. Results Among the 162 eyes implanted with the Lentis Comfort/LS-313 MF15 IOL, acute anterior chamber (AC) inflammation with fibrin formation developed 1-15 days after uneventful surgeries in 7 (4.3%) eyes (cataract surgery alone, n=4 eyes; combined cataract and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, n=3 eyes). Other than local steroid use, fibrin membrane removal, YAG laser membranotomy, pars plana vitrectomy, and AC washout were performed to treat inflammation and/or secondary angle closure due to pupillary obstruction. Conclusion We experienced a cluster of TASS cases in eyes implanted with the Lentis Comfort/LS-313 MF15 IOL in a short period of time. To our knowledge, this is the first report of TASS associated with this IOL.
