Intraoperative IOL opacity. (a)-(d) The clouding of the optical region immediately after IOL implantation. (e)-(g) The transparent IOL at 1 day after surgery. (h) No opacification after irrigation.

Table 2. The IOLs transiently became opaque in varying degrees during surgery (Figures 3(a)-3(d)). The lenses were not removed but constantly monitored, and they recovered transparency after several hours, resulting in no permanent structural or mechanical change (Figures 3(a)-3(d)).
