A Japanese woman in her 70s was referred to our hospital for the evaluation and treatment of high intraocular pressure (IOP) in her right eye. She had undergone bilateral cataract surgeries and the insertion of hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs). We performed trabeculotomy and trabeculectomy to lower her right IOP; thereafter, a circular opacity was observed on the right eye's IOL surface. We removed the right IOL because that eye's vision had decreased due to IOL opacification. The analysis of the removed IOL revealed that the main opacity component was calcium phosphate. This is the first post-glaucoma-surgery IOL calcification case report.
