Clinical indications and microscopic findings in 151 explanted intraocular lenses over 12 years

The authors aimed to analyze the clinical indications and microscopic findings of intraocular lenses (IOLs) explanted over a 12-year period at a single center. They cataloged 151 explanted IOLs, examining patient demographics, explantation reasons, and specific microscopic changes associated with different IOL materials. The study confirms known material-specific susceptibilities and reflects changes in IOL selection and explantation trends over time.
