A prospective study was conducted on 90 eyes undergoing extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber IOL implantation. Postoperative IOL decentration was evaluated with respect to the loop material, either polypropylene (prolene) or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and the IOL fixation technique, either in the capsular sac (in-the-bag) after capsulorhexis, or in the ciliary sulcus after “can-opener” capsulotomy. More decentration was observed with IOL having polypropylene loops than with those having PMMA loops (0.80 ± 0.735 mm versus 0.373 ± 0.299 mm). IOL implanted in the bag showed greater decentration than those implanted in the sulcus, but the difference was not significant. Our findings confirm the recommendation to use an IOL with PMMA loops when placing the implant in the capsular sac.

Implantable collamer lenses (ICL) have gained popularity for correction of myopia where kerato-refractive procedures are not indicated as in cases of high myopic refractive errors. Toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) is a very uncommonly reported postoperative complication following ICL implantation. A young patient developed severe corneal oedema and anterior segment inflammation on the first day after ICL implantation. Analysing retrospectively, possible idiosyncratic response to intracameral pilocarpine was considered as a cause for TASS. Prompt and intensive therapy with oral and topical potent steroids was visually rewarding. TASS, though a sterile inflammation can have catastrophic sequelae such as corneal decompensation and secondary glaucoma. Hence, timely identification and management is important.

Objective: To report a rare case of intraocular lens (ACIOL) opacification in the anterior chamber in an adolescent and to discuss the possible mechanism of its occurrence and the ways of its prevention. Case: A 16-year-old male underwent cataract surgery for developmental cataract with placement of a foldable posterior chamber IOL in the anterior chamber. There was subsequent opacification of the IOL, which was replaced by a scleral fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens. The post-operative visual acuity improved to 6/18. Conclusion: The posterior chamber IOL implanted in the anterior chamber can get opacified possibly due to postoperative intraocular inflammation.
