Additional information received and stated that the patient had substantial persistent corneal edema after the vitrectomy required, after lens removal.Her secondary iol was postponed until cornea cleared.The patient recently underwent secondary scleral fixated iol implantation, however she continues to have persistent corneal edema.Unfortunately, the energy of the required vitrectomy seems to have likely caused some degree of permanent or at least long-standing corneal dysfunction.
