Retained lens material, also called retained lens fragments, occurs in approximately 1 percent of phacoemulsification cases. Patients who have this complication can develop pain, corne-al edema, exaggerated or prolonged intraocular inflammation, secondary glaucoma, CME and retinal detachment.
Retained lens fragments (RLF) can occur in up to one percent of patients who undergo cataract surgery. They are pieces of the cataract lens that remain in the eye following surgery.

Disease. Posterior capsule opacification (PCO), often referred to as “secondary cataract,” is the most common postoperative complication of cataract extraction. In PCO, the posterior capsule undergoes secondary opacification due to the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of lens epithelial cells (LECs).
