A 50-year-old otherwise healthy female, operated for cataract five years back, was found to have an opacity on her intraocular lens (IOL) on routine examination [Figure 1]a. The position of the opacity was confirmed to be on the posterior IOL surface, on anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) [Figure 1]b. The opacity was localized on the posterior IOL surface, well-separated from the clear posterior capsule [Figure 1]b, and seemed to have been limited in dimensions over the past five years [Figure 1]a. We believe a mechanical impact from either the IOL inserting plunger or the IOL holding forceps could have changed the monomer-polymer relations at the site causing a localized opacity on the IOL. We propose it to be a different subset of visual axis opacification (VAO).[1] | Figure 1: (a) Slit-lamp photograph showing opacification (arrow); (b) anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) showing the same opacification (arrow)
