Abstract

We report a case of opacification of a hydrophilic sutureless scleral-fixated Carlevale intraocular lens (IOL) (FIL SSF, Soleko IOL Division) following multiple pars plana vitrectomy surgeries for rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. A patient in his mid-60s underwent Carlevale IOL implantation due to a subluxated posterior chamber IOL and subsequently developed opacification of the Carlevale lens after two additional pars plana vitrectomies for recurrent retinal detachment. This case highlights a rare complication associated with the Carlevale IOL and underscores the potential role of multiple surgeries and gas/silicone oil tamponades in intraocular lens opacification.
