Intraocular lens is implanted in a young adult after cataract surgery which was uneventful. When will you remove the IOL?
Correct Answer: Never removed
Description: There is no such indication to remove IOL after 10 years unless any complication like dislocation of IOL occurs. At the time of cataract surgery , the majority of patients are presbyopic. Presbyopia by itself is not an indication to remove IOL. After development of secondary cataract- just treat it by laser / surgical membranectomy( we don't remove IOL for this).
