ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report of case of membranous encapsulation of a scleral-fixated Akreos intraocular lens (IOL) that was successfully treated with vitrectomy and membranectomy without IOL exchange or removal.METHODS:
Case report. PATIENT A 58-year-old woman with a history of bilateral chronic anterior and intermediate uveitis underwent scleral fixation of Akreos IOL for dislocated 3-piece IOL in the vitreous cavity. She presented one year later with progressively worsening vision (decreased to 20/200) and was found to have a complete encapsulation of the IOL.RESULTS:
The patient underwent successful vitrectomy and membranectomy with return of vision to 20/25 within three months of surgery.CONCLUSION:
There are numerous case reports of opacification after scleral fixation of Akreos IOL. To our knowledge, this is the first report of complete encapsulation of the IOL with a membrane of this type and character. The etiology for this patient's presentation is unclear, but was presumed to be related to her history of chronic intraocular inflammation.
