title: Noninvasive repositioning of a posterior chamber intraocular lens following pupillary capture.
abstract: A case of pupillary capture of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) is presented. A nonsurgical approach that may help reposition an IOL optic entrapped in a pupillary capture when chemical mydriasis fails is described. Suggestions for a logical progression of nonsurgical procedures to help release optic capture are presented. Possible causes and preventative measures to decrease the incidence of pupillary capture of a posterior chamber IOL are discussed.
