Fig. 109. Some posterior capsular opacification has occurred under this Alcon MA60 IOL. The capsular opacification is most substantial where cortex remains inferior. The whitish cortex can be seen peripheral to the optic and is a good example of incomplete cortical cleanup causing posterior capsular opacification. The point of invasion of LEC superior is in the area of the optic haptic junction in this situation where there is no anterior capsule overlap 360 degrees. (Courtesy of James A.
