November consultation #3

Figures 1 and 2 show a temporally dislocated 3-piece PMMA IOL and an incomplete capsule after a complicated phacoemulsification in a post-vitrectomy cataract eye with a PCR and a sulcus lens implantation with a malpositioned nasal haptic in front of the iris in a post-LASIK eye. It seems likely that horizontal subluxation of the IOL is the cause of the recent monocular diplopia and reduction in visual acuity. However, for the near future, I do not expect that the IOL would luxate entirely because of the pseudofixation by the prepupillary haptic.
