Abstract
Intraocular lens (IOL) opacification is a rare phenomenon noted with hydrophilic acrylic IOLs. We report a case of advanced IOL opacification appreciated on anterior segment optical CT (ASOCT)as a shrunken biconcave optic retracted away from the posterior capsule (PC), unlike the other eye which had a clear biconvex IOL of similar material abutting the PC. After IOL exchange, the affected eye was noted to have more folds and Elschnig's pearls on the PC when compared with the other eye. Our case points towards rare IOL changes seen in advanced cases of opacification, their association with posterior capsular changes and the aid of ASOCT as a non-invasive tool in diagnosing them correctly.
