To show a case of post YAG PI cataract in acse of Phakic IOL implantation

Ruby eye Hospital, Berhampur

A 27-year-old female presented with defective vision in her right eye for the past 6 months. Her presenting visual acuity was 4/60. She had a history of axial myopia since childhood. She underwent Phakic IOL surgery 3 years prior. On clinical examination, there was a patent peripheral iridotomy with an underlying focal anterior capsular and a subcapsular cataract with a posterior subcapsular component. She was scheduled for removal of the phakic IOL and phacoemulsification of the cataractous lens with implantation of a multipiece monofocal lens. The postoperative UDVA was 6/9, and the near visual acuity was N8. The patient had persistent good vision for the first postoperative year.

Early cataract formation is an unwarranted complication of phakic IOL. YAG PI needs to be performed carefully by reducing the amount of energy administered once the crater is created to prevent deeper penetration of the energy and accidentally causing damage to the lens.
