Abstract
PPV with instillation of gas into a pseudophakic eye with an acrylic hydrophilic lens seems to increase the risk for secondary calcification irrespective of the manufacturer. In these cases, IOL exchange is the only treatment option available. Since IOL exchange is associated with a high intraoperative complication rate, our results suggest to consider the risk of IOL calcification when implanting hydrophilic acrylic IOLs.
