Hydrophilic acrylic IOLs and Lamellar keratoplasty
Researchers at the David J Apple International Laboratory for Ocular Pathology analyzed 13 hydrophilic intraocular lenses (IOLs) that became opacified after posterior lamellar keratoplasty, finding that the opacification was caused by calcium phosphate deposits on the IOL surface. This opacification significantly deteriorated the optical quality of the IOLs. The study suggests that the instillation of air or gas into the anterior chamber during these procedures increases the risk of IOL opacification, and recommends avoiding hydrophilic acrylic IOLs in patients who may require such procedures.
