Abstract
AbstractIntraocular lens (IOL) calcification is a rare, albeit severe condition that may degrade visual function. Although patients with the affected implants might preserve good visual acuity, they often complain about increased sensitivity to light sources, which may be bothersome enough to necessitate IOL explantation. Disability glare may also be a sign of glistenings (fluid‐filled microvacuoles) that form within the IOL matrix. In those IOL complications, photopic phenomena originate from the scattering of light that cannot be sufficiently quantified using an industry‐standard for IOL testing, namely the modulation transfer function. Instead, one may use the straylight parameter that has proven effective in detecting IOL pathology and also shown a clear correlation between clinical symptoms and optical effects assessed in the laboratory.
