Interlenticular opacification: Clinicopathological correlation of a complication of posterior chamber piggyback intraocular lenses

Abstract: Piggyback PC IOLs were explanted in 2 cases because of a newly described complication, interlenticular opacification. Three surgical means may help prevent this complication: meticulous cortical cleanup, especially in the equatorial region; creation of a relatively large continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis to sequester retained cells peripheral to the IOL optic within the equatorial fornix; insertion of the posterior IOL in the capsular bag and the anterior IOL in the ciliary sulcus to isolate retained cells … Show more

“…This profile is virtually identical to the pathologic process seen in posterior subcapsular cataracts and in the typical 'pearl' form of PCO. 72 In our second report (Dr Shugar's case), the surgeon could not aspirate the paracentral material attached mostly to the anterior surface of the posterior IOL, which was amorphous, compact and completely acellular. He could only aspirate the pearls and retained/regenerative cortex in the peripheral interface.…”

“…72,73 However, we have recently received in our Center four new pairs of acrylic piggyback lenses explanted because of ILO. Three of these new cases shared the common aspect that exhaustive attempts to clean the interface between the lenses were not performed by the surgeons before explantation, probably because ILO is now a well-known entity.…”

“…The technique was then extended to correct pseudophakic spherical 2 or astigmatic 3,4 refractive errors. Because of the position of both IOLs in the capsular bag, complications such as interlenticular opacification [5][6][7] and changes in refractive results due to shift of the second IOL 8,9 were observed. Thus, the authors recommended implanting the second IOL in the ciliary sulcus.…”

“…Na veterinária, são utilizadas lentes intra-oculares (LIOs), num esforço de maximizar a recuperação visual, com restauração da emetropia (Miller e Murphy, 1995). A implantação de duas ou mais lentes intraoculares na câmara posterior, polipseudofaquia ou em piggyback, é realizada para fornecer adequada correção óptica a pacientes pseudofácicos que requeiram alto poder de refração de lente intra-ocular, bem como para alcançar emetropia em olhos extremamente curtos (Findl et al, 1999;Gayton et al, 2000).…”
