DISLOCATED IOL

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 05/24/2022

This 78YO male presented with a several-month history of decreased vision in his right eye. He had prior bilateral cataract surgery years earlier at an outside practice. Vision was 20/25 OU. His right posterior chamber implant was decentered inferiorly, but the optic remained in the visual axis.

The lens subsequently completely dislocated into the inferior vitreous before the anterior segment surgeon could perform scleral fixation.

He subsequently underwent successful vitrectomy, lens explantation with placement of an anterior chamber implant.
