Abstract
We observed circular furrow-like patterns on the implanted intraocular lens surface in postoperative follow-up examination by specular microscopy. The patterns may have been deep lathe-cut marks or compression-related marks on the optics. Specular microscopy, polarized light microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy detected a similar circular mark on the optic surface of a control intraocular lens of the same model. A reconsideration of surface quality is indicated.Keywords
