English term or phrase: subsurface nanoglistenings (SSNG)
Light scattering of hydrophobic acrylic lenses is due to subsurface nanoglistenings (SSNG), generally not leading to explantation.

French translation:Blanchiment ou nanoglistening de surface
Explanation:
"En avril 2011, un cas d’explantation a été
rapporté par Matsushima [7] pour cause
de chute d’acuité visuelle attribuée à un
phénomène de whitening (blanchiment).
Ce phénomène est apparenté au glistening puisqu’il s’agit d’un nanoglistening
de surface, résultant en l’apparition d’un
voile blanchâtre superficiel."

"Subsurface nanoglistening can be referred to as whitening ( Figure 2) of the hydrophobic acrylic IOL affecting the surface or subsurface of the IOL (differently from glistening, which occur within the substance of IOL) (30,31)."

Explanation:
"subsurface nanoglistening" et "whitening" sont synonyme. Il semble que seul whitening soit utilisé en France.
