Dislocation/decentration remains the leading cause of explantation in most IOL types. Glare/optical aberrations continue to be an associated complication of multifocal IOLs suggesting this ongoing issue has yet to be resolved with this type of IOL. Additionally, calcification of hydrophilic acrylic lenses and silicone lenses is a rare event but continues to occur.
