Abstract

This article presents a clinical case of intraocular lens (IOL) removal due to surface degeneration 2 years after implantation. Explantation was performed resulting from clinically significant clouding of the IOL and decreased visual acuity. The microscopic picture and microtopography of the explanted hydrophilic acrylic IOL with hydrophobic coating were studied using scanning electron microscopy. The opacities were total, located on the entire surface of the lens, including the supporting elements.
