Abstract
Spontaneous disinsertion of an iris-fixated 3-piece intraocular lens haptic from the optic in a patient with pathologic myopia
Highlights
Dislocation of an intraocular lens (IOL) haptic from the optic has been reported to occur during surgery, after trauma, and spontaneously [1,2]
We describe a case of spontaneous disinsertion of a haptic from a 3-piece iris-fixated IOL in a patient with pathologic myopia
Spontaneous haptic disinsertion from an IOL occurs rarely, but has previously involved various types of lens models found at different implantation sites [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
Summary
Dislocation of an intraocular lens (IOL) haptic from the optic has been reported to occur during surgery, after trauma, and spontaneously [1,2]. Such cases can occur acutely or many years following cataract surgery, and have been described in lenses placed in the capsular bag, sulcus, or posterior to the iris with fixation sutures. None of the previously reported cases have involved a negative diopter power lens.
