title: [Reposition and suture fixation of dislocated posterior chamber lenses].
abstract: We treated 11 patients with posterior chamber intraocular lenses that were dislocated into the vitreous cavity. Using a pars plana approach, vitrectomy was performed and in order to facilitate manipulation, half of the bulbus volume was filled by perfluorodecaline. The IOL was grasped with forceps and repositioned with a special technique. In this way the first haptic is fixed in the ciliary sulcus. Fixation of the second haptic with 9 x 0 polypropylene suture was performed with a similar procedure. Finally, prophylactic cryotherapy of the retina is indicated.
