ABSTRACT

AIM:

To report the use of modified four ports pars plana vitrectomy in managing a dislocated posterior chamber intraocular lens.

METHODS:

A young man with bilateral pseudophakia and dislocated PC-IOLs had undergone modified four ports pars plana vitrectomy in relocating a dislocated posterior chamber intraocular lens. This procedure was surgically less tedious and demanding compared with previous methods of IOL retrieval.

RESULTS:

No significant intra- or post-operative complication was noted. The visual recovery of the operated eye was rapid with the best corrected visual acuity at 14 months post-operation being 0.5. In contrast, the right eye without operation due to patient refusal developed total retinal detachment with hand movement visual acuity.

CONCLUSION:

Modified four ports pars plana vitrectomy may be a more ophthalmic surgeon friendly alternative in the retrieval of dislocated IOL.
