Phototoxic maculopathy after secondary intraocular lens implantation.

We report phototoxic maculopathy in 2 aphakic patients after secondary, scleral-sutured intraocular lens implantation. This rare complication may have been triggered by drugs that increased the photosensitivity of the tissue. Careful preoperative assessment is necessary to question the receipts of photosensitizing drugs and identify diseases that predispose patients to phototoxic injuries.
