Dear Sir for which retinal problem has he been given intravitreal injection.If its for diabetic retinopathy silicone lenses are best avoided as if he develops vitreous haemorrhage at later date it will be incompatible for vitreoretinal surgery. Hydrophobic acrylic lenses should be fine.
But still I would like to know for which condition he is taking accentrix.
Kindly update.

It all depends on a lot of factors, also as long as its a monofocal IOL its good for patients with retinal disease.. multifocal lens is usually not comfortable for patients with retinal disorders. Rest PMMA IOL foldable should be fine for the patient
