| description | Intraocular lens (IOL) opacification can be one of the rare differential diagnoses for delayed decrease in postoperative vision in patients undergoing cataract surgery. A 73-year-old female presented with the complaints of diminished vision in her operated eye 4 years after a surgery for her cataract. After meticulous evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with opacification of IOL, and appropriate IOL exchange was done. The patient regained vision to 6/12. Hence, it is crucial to keep this cause of postoperative decrease in vision and manage accordingly to restore useful vision. |
