Reason

Due to an increase of opacification complaints, Oculentis initiated a study to investigate the sporadic late postoperative opacification of LENTIS IOLs (completed August 30, 2017). The results of the study have indicated that surface calcification could possibly be the result of phosphate remnants originating from a phosphate containing detergent previously used in the cleaning process of the IOL from January 2012-May 2015.
