Incidence of Akreos AO60 intraocular lens opacification after concurrent or subsequent intraocular oil or gas use.
Retinal Cases & Brief Reports 2023 April 21
PURPOSE: To report the incidence of opacification in a consecutive series of 10 eyes that underwent scleral fixated Akreos AO60 placement with concurrent or subsequent contact with gas or silicone oil.
METHODS: Consecutive case series.
RESULTS: Three cases of IOL opacification were noted. Two cases of opacification occurred in patients that underwent subsequent retinal detachment repair with C3F8 and one with silicone oil. One patient underwent explanation of the lens due to visually significant opacification.
CONCLUSION: Scleral fixation of the Akreos AO60 IOL is associated with risk of IOL opacification when exposed to intraocular tamponade. While surgeons should consider the risk of opacification in patients at high risk of requiring intraocular tamponade, only 1 in 10 patients developed IOL opacification significant enough to require explantation.
