A male child had an eye injury at 3months of age.And he developed a cataract which was diagnosed as traumatic cataract.  Subsequently he was operated at PGI and an IOL was implanted. Also an iridectomy was performed . After operation he was advised patching of the normal eye Patching is continuing till now. Everything went fine for two years .visual axis is clear till date.the only problem which has arisen now is that there is a very small opacity seen through iridectomy incision.pupil is clear till now. Intraocular pressure is normal My question is that what can be reason for that opacity .
