    Abstract:
    A 74-year-old woman had uneventful phacoemulsification with implantation of a single-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) (SA30AL) in her left eye. Two weeks after the surgery, the patient presented for ophthalmological consultation reporting pseudophakic dysphotopsia, which she had subjectively noted since surgery. Explantation/exchange of the IOL was performed 3 months after the surgery. The IOL was strongly attached to the capsule, which was fibrotic and contracted; explantation of the capsular bag complex in toto was done. To our knowledge, this is the first case of explantation of this IOL design with clinicopathological correlation.
