| Popis: | Postoperative deposits on the surface of intraocular lenses (IOLs) have been demonstrated in vivo for many IOL material types. The Acrysof acrylic lens develops a granular material extending from the capsulorhexis margin onto the IOL's anterior surface during the first 4 weeks after surgery in a significant proportion of cases. Complete resolution of this membrane occurs by 3 months in almost all cases. The case is presented of an 81-year-old woman who had a persisting membrane covering the IOL surface at 6 months. This membrane was removed surgically and pathology showed the constituent cells to be of lens epithelial cell origin. |
