Abstract: The postoperative course of a patient who underwent retinal detachment repair using perfluoro-n-octane (PFO) and perfluoropropane (C(3)F(8)) gas endotamponade is described in which midlenticular optic opacification of a hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens was noted. Mechanisms for optic opacification are proposed, which include dystrophic calcification and PFO-induced optic degeneration. The case presents a novel case of midlenticular intraocular lens optic opacification in the setting of retained perfluorocarbon liquid following retinal detachment repair.<br /> (Copyright 2010, SLACK Incorporated.)
