title: Trisection technique for the extraction of dislocated intraocular lenses through a small surgical incision.
abstract: We describe a trisection technique for extracting a dislocated IOL through a small surgical incision. The dislocated IOL is brought into the anterior chamber and cut into 3 equal segments, with a negligible risk for the segments falling into the vitreous cavity.
