“…Jorge et al (4) examined 87 eyes of patients living in the rural areas of Pernambuco, Brazil, 4 years after phacoemulsification with Ioflex IOL implantation and found a late opacification rate of 7%. Ventura et al (3) performed histopathologic analyses of 5 cases of postoperative Ioflex IOL opacification and described the presence of calcium deposits. These authors could not determine a specific cause for the observed calcification except that 3 of the 5 patients had diabetes mellitus.…”

“…Although opacification is not a common complication, it is the main cause of hydrophilic acrylic IOL extraction. The causes of this complication are not completely understood, but the literature indicates that it is caused by calcification due to calcium and/or phosphate in the IOL 13 .…”

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficiency of long-term cataract surgery using low-cost intraocular lens implantation in community campaigns.METHODS:Fifty-eight randomly selected patients were evaluated four years after phacoemulsification and Ioflex intraocular lens implantation. Causes of low visual acuity related to the intraocular lens were evaluated, and treatment costs were calculated.RESULTS:The mean age of patients was 72±10.2 years. Four years after surgery, 25 eyes (43.0%) had decreased visual acuity related to the intraocular lens: posterior capsule opacification was noted in 24 eyes (41.3%), and intraocular lens opacification was noted in one eye (1.7%). The total cost of the post-surgical complication treatments represented 6.3% of the initial budget of the entire surgical patient group.CONCLUSIONS:The efficiency of cataract surgery with low-cost Ioflex intraocular lens implantation was significantly reduced in a long-term follow-up study because postoperative complications related to intraocular lenses emerged at higher rates than when the gold-standard treatment was used.

“…Previous papers have described cases of IOL opacification in hydrophilic acrylic IOLs from different manufacturers (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) . However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first peer-reviewed report on Oft Cryl® IOL opacification.…”
