Abstract
The improvements in IOL design and materials as well as surgical techniques have greatly minimized the incidence, changed the indications for, and improved the visual outcomes of IOL exchange over the past decade. Our study suggests that the open loop, flexible AC-IOL poses no greater risk than PC-IOL with respect to visual outcome and safety for IOL exchange. An AC-IOL may be preferable to a PC-IOL suture fixation for IOL exchange in the absence of posterior capsular support.
