ABSTRACT

The photo essay presents a case of a 73-year-old male facing vision issues after Nd: YAG capsulotomy for a suspected Posterior Capsular Opacity. Pitting on the surface of an opacified hydrophilic intraocular lens (IOL) was observed due to inadvertent laser shots, distinct from the typical YAG laser pitting when treating posterior capsular opacity (PCO). Glare and light reflection can be troublesome causes for a patient secondary to IOL pitting. This report emphasizes the need to differentiate opacified IOL from Posterior Capsular Opacity to avoid unnecessary or incorrect procedures.
