Summary

Post-traumatic subconjunctival dislocation of an intraocular lens (pseudophacocle) is rare. This study successfully managed a traumatic pseudophacocle case by exchanging the intraocular lens, avoiding aphakia.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Post-traumatic subconjunctival dislocation of intraocular lenses (IOLs), or pseudophacoceles, are rare but serious complications after cataract surgery.
  • Previous management strategies for pseudophacoceles involved IOL removal, resulting in aphakia.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of traumatic pseudophacocle.
  • The patient presented with a dislocated intraocular lens following trauma.

Findings:

  • The pseudophacocle was successfully managed by performing an intraocular lens exchange.
  • This approach avoided the need for IOL removal and preserved the lens implantation.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates a viable alternative management strategy for traumatic pseudophacocle.
  • Successful IOL exchange offers a way to restore vision and avoid aphakia in select cases of post-traumatic IOL dislocation.
