Toric Lentis Mplus intraocular lens opacification: A case report

To present the case of a patient with Toric Lentis Mplus intraocular lens (IOL) (Oculentis, Berlin, Germany) opacification after vitrectomy and his follow-up.A 44-year-old man with high myopia and right optic neuritis history complained of visual impairment due to cataract in the right eye. We performed uneventful phacoemulsification and implanted a Toric Lentis Mplus IOL in his right eye. Six months later, he came to us with a retinal detachment in the nasal area of the right eye. We performed a 25-gauge vitrectomy with gas tamponade and endolaser treatment. Ten months after the vitrectomy, he complained of blurred vision in the right eye again. On slit-lamp examination, we observed a wide opacification localized to the anterior surface of the IOL. We explanted the IOL from the right eye and replaced it with a Clareon IOL (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX). The explanted IOL was examined under light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.We described a case of postoperative opacification of Toric Lentis Mplus IOL after vitrectomy. We found calcium aggregate deposits on the anterior surface of the IOL. Given the higher frequency of fundus disease observed in patients with high myopia, hydrophilic acrylic IOLs should be used with caution in patients with high myopia and in young patients. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Toric Lentis Mplus IOL opacification after the 2017 Field Safety Notice by Oculentis in response to the Food and Drug Administration's recall.
