Management of In-the-Bag Intraocular Lens Dislocation Into Vitreous Cavity With Temporary 10-0 Polypropylene Suture Support and Ab-Externo Scleral Fixation.
Abstract
Management of In-the-Bag Intraocular Lens Dislocation Into Vitreous Cavity With Temporary 10–0 Polypropylene Suture Support and Ab-Externo Scleral Fixation In-the-bag dislocation of intraocular lens (IOL) into vitreous cavity was a rare complication which was seen more often in cases of pseudoexfoliation syndrome, previous trauma history, previous vitreoretinal surgery, high myopia, retinitis pigmentosa, and uveitis.1–7 Generally, pars plana vitrectomy and explantation of IOL–bag complex and exchange of IOL are performed.5,6 Reposition of IOL with scleral fixation is generally not possible because there is a total or subtotal dehiscence of zonules, and no support of the IOL within the eye during the suturing process. In this report, we use a novel technique to reposition and suture the IOL–capsular complex without explantation and exchange of IOL.
