Abstract

Opacification of intraocular lens implant after successful cataract surgery is an important issue with the introduction of new intraocular lens. The complexity of the problem is not merely associated with visual impairment, but also lies in the difficulty in diagnosis and management of the case. We report 3 cases of late postoperative opacification of IOL implants warranted IOL exchange.
