Video	Black-on-clear polypseudophakia lens extraction with dual PMMA implants (1 opaque and 1 clear) placed in the bag. A bowl-and-snail technique is used during phacoemulsification as the nucleus was soft. After irrigation/aspiration, a clear PMMA IOL was inserted into the capsular bag. Following this, an opaque device was also placed in the capsular bag with its haptics parallel to the clear IOL underneath.		8 MB
