Traumatic dislocation of phakic anterior chamber iris-claw intraocular lens: A case report

We are presenting a traumatic dislocation of a phakic intraocular lens (piol) secondary to a blunt trauma to the right eye. the patient presented with a sudden blurring of vision with no other associated injury. his slit lamp examination showed disenclavation of the temporal clip and pre-operatively his best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (bscva) was 6/36. the patient was brought to the operating room where his lens was repositioned and re-enclaved. he had a complete restoration of vision with a bscva of 6/9 and an endothelial cell count of 2786/mm2. we conclude that a traumatic dislocation of an iris-claw piol can be successfully corrected without immediate postoperative complications and endothelial cell count loss. © 2017,pakistan medical association. all rights reserved.
