N2 - We report 2 intraocular lenses (IOLs) manufactured from the same hydrophilic acrylic polymer by Ioltech that developed optic opacification. In both cases, the postoperative course after implantation of the IOLs was complicated by significant inflammatory reaction with fibrin formation in the anterior chamber. Pathologic analyses of the explanted IOLs were consistent with dystrophic calcification leading to optic opacification, but the pattern was different between the 2 IOL designs. Patient-related factors might have been responsible for this complication.
