title: Truncated edge design, dysphotopsia, and inhibition of posterior capsule opacification.
abstract: A 73-year-old woman had implantation of a silicone intraocular lens (IOL) with a truncated edge design. Like some other patients with acrylic IOLs, she experienced long-term undesirable reflections and halos. However, the posterior capsule remained clear. The fellow eye had a different style silicone IOL, which induced no visual side effects but was associated with early posterior capsule opacification.
