Abstract
A 73-year-old woman had implantation of a silicone intraocular lens (IOL) w ith a truncated design. Like Some other patients with acrylic IOLs, she exp erienced long-term undesirable reflections and halos. However, the posterio r capsule remained clear. The fellow eye had a different style silicone IOL , which induced no visual side effects but was associated with early poster ior capsule opacification.
