A new surgical technique for managing sunset syndrome.
Although inferior subluxation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens following extracapsular cataract extraction (sunset syndrome) occurs infrequently, it is difficult to manage. We describe a new, relatively simple technique for managing subluxated posterior chamber intraocular lenses, in which the lens implant is "dialed" forward into the anterior chamber, bringing its haptics to rest in the chamber angle.
