Diagnostic imaging techniques in patient with liquefied aftercataract imitating intraocular lens opacification

An 81-year-old patient was referred for an intraocular lens (IOL) exchange surgery because of a presumed IOL opacification. Using diagnostic imaging techniques such as anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Scheimpflug imaging, we revealed that the presumed IOL opacification was in...

description An 81-year-old patient was referred for an intraocular lens (IOL) exchange surgery because of a presumed IOL opacification. Using diagnostic imaging techniques such as anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Scheimpflug imaging, we revealed that the presumed IOL opacification was in fact a liquefied aftercataract. As a result, an intraocular surgery was avoided and the patient was successfully treated with a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy.
