A 58-year-old female presented with diminution of vision in the left eye (OS). Slit-lamp examination revealed multiple radially distributed greyish white paracentral deposits suggestive of pseudoexfoliative material on the anterior surface of the poly (methyl methacrylate) intraocular lens in the right eye (OD) [Figure 1] while the OS had cataractous changes. Gonioscopy showed hyperpigmentation of the trabecular meshwork. The left eye revealed no evidence of pseudoexfoliation. Fundus examination was unremarkable. | Figure 1: Slit-lamp examination revealed multiple radially distributed greyish white paracentral deposits on the anterior surface of the poly(methyl methacrylate) intraocular lens

Pseudoexfoliative material on the intraocular lens surface is a rare finding. It could be an important clue in the diagnosis of pseudoexfoliation syndrome, which remains the most common identifiable cause of primary open-angle glaucoma.[1],[2]
