title: Posterior dislocation of a plate-haptic silicone intraocular lens with large fixation holes.
abstract: We present a patient who had uneventful phacoemulsification with in-the- bag implantation of a silicone plate-haptic posterior chamber intraocula r lens (IOL) with 1.15 mm fixation holes. Six months after a neodymium: YAG laser capsulotomy, the IOL spontaneously dislocated posteriorly. A pars plana vitrectomy was performed, the IOL was explanted, and a 3-piece loop-haptic IOL was implanted in the ciliary sulcus. Eight weeks after surgery, best corrected visual acuity was 20/20.
