The IOL explantation and exchange were done due to late postoperative opacification of the IOL and significant visual deterioration. The milky iridescent opacity affected the full thickness of IOL optics in the first two specimens and in the third only two surfaces were involved. SEM detected surface cracks in the first specimen, typical conglumated surface, pores and accumulation of crystals with surface deposit of nano-particles on the second specimen and uneven surface erosion in the third specimen. SEM detected mainly sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl) spikes. All patients recovered normal vision following IOL exchange.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
