Abstract
We report three patients with deposition of pseudoexfoliation (PXF) material on intraocular lens years after uneventful cataract surgery. PXF was not present before the cataract surgery. The PXF material was found on the anterior surface of the intraocular lens in the first patient and on the posterior surface as well in the other two patients. All the patients had a polymethylmethacrylate intraocular lens placed in the sulcus. The fellow eyes did not have PXF. All the patients had open angle glaucoma in both eyes.
