Retin Cases Brief Rep. 2023 May 1;17(3):231-232. doi: 10.1097/ICB.0000000000001169.

Abstract

Purpose: To present a surgical technique that allows rescue (repositioning) of a dislocated Crystalens model intraocular lens using scleral sutures.

Methods: The surgical technique is described with supplemental video.

Results: The technique was used in one patient with 3 months of follow-up information. The intraocular lens was well-positioned, and the visual acuity is 20/20, without adverse events.

Conclusion: Scleral suture techniques for repositioning of the Crystalens offer a suitable alternative to intraocular lens exchange.
