Report of a repositioned posteriorly dislocated intraocular lens via pars plicata sclerotomy.
A patient had an apparently uncomplicated extracapsular cataract extraction with insertion of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL). Posterior dislocation of the implant was noted postoperatively. The IOL was successfully repositioned via a pars plicata sclerotomy and the haptic was sutured to the sclera. We believe this procedure is relatively atraumatic and is preferable to removal and replacement of a partially dislocated implant.
