Quantification of the In Vitro Predisposition to Glistening Formation in One Manufacturer's Acrylic Intraocular Lenses Made in Different Decades.

A high number of glistenings was induced in the explanted IOLs from the 1990s. The propensity for glistening formation decreased considerably after that decade and now in current use. Even though in vitro glistening formation in today's AcrySof material was low, the Clareon material was essentially glistenings-free.
