Traumatic dislocation of phakic anterior chamber iris-claw intraocular lens: A case report

We are presenting a traumatic dislocation of a Phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) secondary to a blunt trauma to the right eye. The patient presented with a sudden blurring of vision with no other associated injury. His slit lamp examination showed disenclavation of the temporal clip and pre-operatively his best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) was 6/36. The patient was brought to the operating room where his lens was repositioned and re-enclaved. He had a complete restoration of vision with a BSCVA of 6/9 and an endothelial cell count of 2786/mm2. We conclude that a traumatic dislocation of an iris-claw PIOL can be successfully corrected without immediate postoperative complications and endothelial cell count loss.
