What options would you consider for removing dense fibrin deposits from an IOL in a patient with chronic uveitis?

Pre-treat with a steroid and nonsteroid drop, use a low-power YAG laser anterior offset to remove, and post op continue with pre op regimen for as long as recurrence is necessary, then slowly taper off.

First, to ensure uveitis is adequately controlled before intervention, ongoing or recurrent intraocular inflammation increases postoperative inflammatory risk.

If I am to do a YAG, I would want the patient to have no inflammation for 1-2 months. If I am to do a surgery, you would need to wait longer...

When they are quiet, a YAG works fine.

But caution them, it often comes back with the next round or 2 of inflammation.
