Purpose: To review the published scientific literature concerning clinical and material
degradations of intraocular lenses after implantation in cataract surgery. Methods: A search …

Various pathologic processes may lead to clinically significant opacification or discoloration
of the optic component of intraocular lenses (IOLs) manufactured from different biomaterials …

Recent improvements in intraocular lens (IOL) design, manufacturing techniques, and
surgical techniques have greatly reduced the incidence of complications following …

A total of 776 specimens yielded significant data on quality control and manufacturing
defects in lens implants and on the biodegradation of lens implant and suture materials …

Data on 41 cases (37 intraocular lenses and four globes) of intraocular lenses explanted or
expulsed after ocular trauma were retrieved from over 5,000 intraocular lenses and 1,200 …

Background The opacification of hydrophilic intraocular lenses (IOLs) is a very rare
complication in terms of absolute numbers. We report on the analyses of opacified …

PURPOSE: To identify the nature and to investigate the biochemical mechanisms leading to
late opacification of implanted hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs). DESIGN …

Purpose: To report clinical, pathological, histochemical, ultrastructural, and spectrographic
analyses of explanted hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) obtained from patients …

Results Gross and microscopical evaluations demonstrated that the optical surfaces and the
haptics of the SC60B-OUV lenses were free of any deposits (Fig 2–4). However, multiple …

Purpose: To evaluate glistening and long-term stability of five commercially available
intraocular lenses. Methods: This experimental study evaluated the SN60WF (Alcon), XY1 …
