Subconjunctival dislocation of an anterior chamber intraocular lens.
Post-traumatic dislocation of an intraocular lens (IOL) is a serious complication, especially after a blunt trauma because the posterior chamber lenses can potentially dislocate subconjunctively. We report a case of subconjunctival dislocation of a Kelman multiflex AC IOL. Such cases require immediate wound repair with IOL explantation to prevent endophthalmitis.
