Abstract
Neodvinium:NAG laser intraocular lens damage results in opacities in the pseudophakos. When located in the visual axis, these opacities may cause glare and image degradation. In this paper, we report a patient who experienced disabling glare sufficient to require the explantation of the YAGdamaged intraocular lens. The patient, her management and clinical course, and the pathology of the explanted lens are discussed.Keywords
