Fig. 130. Milky fluid is trapped between the posterior IOL optic and the posterior capsule. This condition is called lactocruminacea by Eifrig. Usually a posterior Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy will improve visualization and simply release the material into the anterior vitreous without harm. However, in one case reported by D.K. Dahliwal, micropipette aspiration of the material yielded a positive culture for propionibacterium acnes. (Courtesy of James A. Davison, MD, Wolfe Eye Clinic, Marshalltown, IA.)
