Indications and Outcomes of Intraocular Lens Exchange During a Recent 5-Year Period

The request for IOL exchange owing to patient dissatisfaction is increasing, especially for those with undesired visual acuity in the absence of photic symptoms. Surface calcification of silicone lenses suggests that this type of lens is not appropriate in the presence of asteroid hyalosis. Optimal visual results with a low rate of complications can be achieved in each category of indication. The findings of the study may stimulate discussion of a question: Does in-the-bag IOL dislocation occur only in eyes with an intact posterior capsule?
