Visual disability resulting from a dislocated intraocular lens.
Complications may arise from the failure to remove a dislocated intraocular lens, even when it appears to rest in a benign position and pose no problems. We examined a patient with a second intraocular lens left in the inferior vitreous cavity. Shifting the loose lens resulted in eventual complications and visual disability; removing the dislocated lens and replacing the functional intraocular lens yielded good results.
