A Modified Iris Suture Technique for In-the-bag Intraocular Lens Dislocation Clinically significant posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) decentrations or dislocations occur in the aftermath of approximately 2% to 3% of cataract surgeries. Early inor out-of-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocations arise within 3 months of surgery, primarily as a result of traumatic zonular or capsular r...

P osterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) are exquisitely engineered to provide excellent vision when implanted into a stable capsule following extracapsular cataract extraction. If the lens capsule or the supporting lens zonules fail, and the IOL dislocates, vision usually deteriorates. Unfortunately, just as cars are not designed to be easily fixed after crashing, IOLs are not designed to ...

We report the outcome of intraocular lens implantation in 20 children with visually significant cataracts (seven traumatic, 13 non-traumatic). Six patients had anterior and 14 had posterior chamber implants. The mean age of the whole group at the time of surgery was 5.9 years (range 0.3 to 15.1 years), while the mean period of follow-up was 2.4 years (range 0.8 to 5.9 years). Postoperatively 10...

We describe a case of modified femtosecond laser settings for cataract extraction in a patient with a posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), to avoid incomplete treatment patterns and treatment displacement. Modification of laser settings (increased depth for the capsulotomy, increased vertical spot spacing for the capsulotomy and increased anterior and posterior capsule safety margi...

PURPOSE To describe the presenting characteristics and management alternatives of posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) dislocation secondary to dehiscence of the zonules supporting the capsular bag. DESIGN Observational case series. METHODS Multicenter retrospective analysis of the surgical treatment and predisposing factors associated with 25 eyes of 22 patients with dislocation of ...
