Migration of len epithelial cell through haptic root of ingle-piece acrylic-foldable intraocular len

Purpoe To report a cae of poterior capule opacification after cataract urgery due to len epithelial cell migration through the haptic root of a ingle-piece acrylic-foldable intraocular len. Deign Interventional cae report. Method A 60-year-old man with enile cataract underwent phacoemulification and implantation of ingle-piece acrylic intraocular len having thick and wide haptic loop.
