Pseudo-exfoliation pattern on posterior IOL.
Extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber lens implantation was performed in a 75-year-old man. Eight months later PE syndrome had developed with a distinct peripheral band on the anterior surface of the pseudophacos. This case clearly shows that the peripheral band is added to the lens surface from outside, and is not derived from the lens epithelium.
