A physician reported that following intraocular lens (iol) implant procedures, there was anterior capsular membrane growth over the optics of both types of lenses within 2 weeks of implantation.He describes it to be more "feathery" in structure, rather than as defined as anterior capsular phimosis.The membrane growth has occurred in approximately 3 of 20 cases and in some cases has required yag laser treatment.Additional information was provided by the physician, who reported " i¿ve had a handful of these funny anterior capsular membranes (not phimosis necessarily, more of a feathery membrane extending centrally from the edge of the rhexis, 360 degrees)".The physician confirmed his observations as lens epithelial cell on growth and the doctor responded "yes, looking at a couple pictures online this is certainly what it is.Generally i have noticed it within a couple weeks post-operatively.I¿ve had a handful over the last couple years and lasered a couple of them, not knowing it would regress and i of course was worried about the visual axis.They came off easily with yag as well".There are two medical device reports associated with these reported event.This report is for one of two lens models.
