Neodymium:YAG treatment of interlenticular opacification in a secondary piggyback case.

J L Gayton1, M Van der Karr, V Sanders.   

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.
