Opacification of anterior part of hydrophilic acrylic IOL or a prelenticular inflammatory membrane?

• In their recent case report, Park and Chuck1 describe the bilateral appearance of an opacification at the plane of the anterior surface of the hydrophilic acrylic Akreos MI60 intraocular lens (IOL) (Bausch & Lomb). The patient's general history of diabetes mellitus, proliferative retinopathy, and iris rubeosis explains the limited pupil dilation preventing visualization of the capsulorhexis opening in their slitlamp images.
