CRYSTALENS REPOSITIONING WITH SCLERAL SUTURE TECHNIQUE.

Abstract

To present a surgical technique that allows rescue (repositioning) of a dislocated Crystalens model intraocular lens using scleral sutures. The surgical technique is described with supplemental video. 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. Scleral suture techniques for repositioning of the Crystalens offer a suitable alternative to intraocular lens exchange.
