title: Photodisruption of deposits on intraocular lens by Nd: YAG laser a case report.
abstract: After cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, there is usually inflammation with deposits on IOL. In rare cases, the deposit may be severe even after medical treatment and require removal by laser or surgery. The case is a 71-year-old woman who received cataract surgery 8 years ago. She had numerous inflammatory deposits on the anterior surface of IOL in the left eye. After photodisruption by Nd:YAG laser with Q-switched/fundamental mode/0.5 mJ/1 pulse per burst/0 defocus/65 bursts and focus on deposits with contact lens, the deposits were cleaned without any complication and the patient's vision improved.
