Re-Enclavation of a Dislocated Retropupillary Fixated Iris Claw Lens: A Case Report

Abstract

A male patient, 63 years of age, presented with dislocation of a retropupillary fixated iris claw lens due to nasal haptic disenclavation. During re-enclavation the intraocular lens dislocated again. To avoid further dislocation, both superior fingers of the haptics were pushed through the iris tissue to achieve more stable support of the haptic ends. This method of fixation appeared to be well tolerated.
