Posterior to anterior migration of a large optic fragment in a pseudophakic eye

Abstract

Objective: To report a curious case of a posteriorly dislocated large optic fragment that migrated anteriorly to the anterior chamber through a well-positioned scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) and intact pupil.Methods: Single case report.Results: The large optic fragment was removed successfully in the operating room.Conclusions: While eyes with a posteriorly-displaced lens or IOL remnants may occasionally be observed without intervention, these patients should be monitored closely.
