Abstract:
Interlenticular opacification (ILO) developed 7 months after secondary acrylic piggyback lens implantation in which the anterior lens was placed in the bag. This resulted in glare and a hyperopic shift. Treating the ILO with the neodymium:YAG laser successfully reduced the glare and corrected the hyperopic shift.
