Placement of a secondary foldable intraocular lens over a capsule remnant.
A bilaterally aphakic patient received a silicone intraocular lens (IOL) over an intact capsular bag. The fellow eye had a large capsule rupture. Implantation of a 3-piece silicone IOL was attempted over the capsule remnant and achieved without complication. One year postoperatively, the IOL remained stable.
