An article from acta ophthalmologica 2022 was received in regard to "block excision and tectonic corneoscleral grafting for epithelial implantation cyst after intraocular contact lens implantation".The article involved a 32-year-old woman with correction of myopia following post bilateral icl placement.Three years later in january 2021, the woman presented with a progressively growing transparent iris cyst in her left eye.Block excision including complete cyst with adjacent iris, and ciliary body and tectonic corneoscleral graft were successfully performed without uncontrolled rupture of the cyst or further intervention on either lens or icl.One day post-op, iop was 5 mmhg and ucva was 0.7 logmar.Eight months after cyst removal surgery, crystalline lens remained clear and icl remained well centered.Since icl implantation was anecdotally uneventful, minor ingrowth of conjuctival epithelium through an imperfect tunnel is suspected.Additional information has been requested but none has been forthcoming.
