Abstract
A 36-year-old woman with high myopia had uneventful implantation of a phakic refractive lens (PRL) bilaterally. Two months postoperatively, the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the right eye decreased to the preoperative level and the posterior chamber PRL disappeared from the anterior segment and was found lying in the vitreous cavity inferiorly. After lensectomy and pars plana vitrectomy, the PRL was removed through the initial clear corneal incision, improving the BCVA to 1.0. A zonular defect associated with high myopia, previously forgotten and unrecognized ocular trauma, or intraoperative manipulations may have resulted in the spontaneous dislocation of the PRL.
