Management of complications in eyes containing two intraocular lenses.

Ophthalmology 1998 November
OBJECTIVE: To describe the management of complications in eyes containing two intraocular lenses (IOLs).

DESIGN: A retrospective noncomparative case series.

PARTICIPANTS: Eight patients having a dislocated posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) and a secondary anterior chamber intraocular lens (AC IOL) participated.

INTERVENTION: Surgical treatment of complications, including mobile dislocated PC IOLs in five eyes and retinal detachment in three eyes, was performed.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Visual acuity and anatomic status were evaluated.

RESULTS: Dislocated PC IOLs were removed through a pars plana incision in five eyes and a limbal incision in three eyes. Retinal detachments were repaired in three eyes. With follow-up from 7 months to 6.5 years, visual acuities ranged from 20/25 to 20/40 in five eyes and 20/60 to 20/400 in the three eyes undergoing retinal detachment repair.

CONCLUSION: Eyes in which dislocation of a PC IOL occurs during or after cataract surgery may have significant complications develop. Successful surgical repair is more complex in the presence of a secondary AC IOL.
