title: Use of high-density vitreous substitutes in the removal of posteriorly dislocated lenses or intraocular lenses.
abstract: We successfully used high-density vitreous substitutes to remove four dislocated crystalline lenses and three dislocated intraocular lenses (IOLs) from the vitreous cavity. Fluorosilicone oil (300 cs) was used to remove the four lenses and one of the IOLs. Perfluorophenanthrene (Vitreon) was used to remove the other two dislocated IOLs. The dislocated lenses or IOLs were floated by the high-density vitreous substitutes and removed safely without damaging the retina; there were no intraoperative complications. Postoperative residual fluorosilicone oil droplets were found in one case.
