We describe a technique for repositioning an encapsulated, posteriorly dislocated silicone plate-haptic toric intraocular lens (IOL) while preventing further dislocation into the vitreous cavity. Sutures of 10-0 polypropylene were used to ensure safe retrieval of the dislocated IOL. An anterior vitrectomy was then performed to remove the contracted capsular bag around the IOL. The IOL fixation hole was temporarily externalized to allow quick and secure IOL fixation, eliminating the risk for losing the slippery silicone IOL into the vitreous cavity. Using this technique, the IOL was successfully placed in the proper position and resulted in good vision for the patient while avoiding the trauma of lens exchange.

D012826 Silicone Elastomers Polymers of silicone that are formed by crosslinking and treatment with amorphous silica to increase strength. They have properties similar to vulcanized natural rubber, in that they stretch under tension, retract rapidly, and fully recover to their original dimensions upon release. They are used in the encapsulation of surgical membranes and implants. Elastomers, Silicone,Rubber Silicone,Silicone Rubber,Elastosil,Microfil,SE-30,Elastosils,Microfils,SE 30,SE30,Silicone Elastomer

D014792 Visual Acuity Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast. Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
