title: Anterior dislocation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens after blunt trauma.
abstract: An 85-year-old man developed an anterior dislocation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) after blunt trauma. The dislocated IOL was exchanged for an anterior chamber IOL. Visual acuity was 20/40 at the 6 month follow-up. This case presents an unusual sequela of trauma to a pseudophakic eye and discusses management issues that should be considered.
