Abstract
To describe a patient who complained of color vision disturbance after implantation of a clear intraocular lens (IOL) in one eye and a yellow IOL in the other. Interventional case report. A 50-year-old woman complained of binocular imbalance and "yellow vision" in her left eye after implantation of a visible blue light-filtering yellow IOL. A clear IOL had been implanted in her right eye 1 month before. She requested explantation of the yellow IOL. The yellow IOL was exchanged for a clear one, which resolved the unbalanced color vision. Patients may be intolerant of the color disturbance that results when dissimilarly colored IOLs are implanted. It is advisable to avoid this practice.
