Highly myopic vitrectomized eye develops delayed subluxation of 3-piece PMMA intraocular lens after complicated cataract surgery

A 50-year-old male patient had suffered a tennis ball contusion in his right eye in his youth. At the age of 29 years, he developed retinal detachment, which was successfully repaired by vitrectomy and gas tamponade. At the age of 35, the patient underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in both eyes. Three years Later, the right eye underwent cataract surgery with a 3-piece poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
