Late Subluxation of Intraocular Lens Due to Haptic-Optic Adhesion

Abstract

This case report describes a rare instance of late subluxation of an Intraocular Lens (IOL) resulting from adhesion between the haptic and optic components. Intraocular lens subluxation is typically associated with zonular weakness, trauma or capsular bag contracture; however, this case underscores an uncommon etiology related to adhesion between the haptic tip and the optic in a one piece hydrophobic acrylic IOL. This report highlights the clinical presentation, surgical management and implications for patient care, contributing to the understanding of long-term complications in cataract surgery.
