Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This interventional case report presents an anterior chamber intraocular lens (AC-IOL) translocation technique to manage a case of uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema (UGH) syndrome associated with posterior dislocation of nuclear fragments and vitreitis as a consequence of capsule rupture during cataract surgery. Pars plana vitrectomy followed by an AC-IOL translocation from the anterior chamber to the sulcus without additional surgical corneal incision was performed. At 12 months' follow-up, the original AC-IOL was in stable position in the posterior chamber, with binocular refractive balance and no further astigmatism and resolution of the UGH syndrome. |
