The momentary deposits behind the phakic intraocular lens: The rationale!

Abstract

To report a unique case of spontaneous resolution of momentary, non-inflammatory phakic intraocular lens implantation (pIOL) deposits, in a 24-year-old female underwent phakic IOL implantation in both eyes for high myopia. Surprisingly, multiple, whitish, refractile, non-inflammatory deposits were noted in the immediate postoperative period on the posterior surface of the pIOL in the right eye. A quick recap of surgical steps identified the rationale for the lens deposits, circumventing similar incident in the fellow eye.
