Dislocated Intraocular Lens

A Dislocated Intraocular Lens occurs when the artificial lens implanted during cataract surgery or other corrective eye procedures moves out of its original position within the eye. This displacement may occur immediately or long after the original cataract surgery and may result from various causes, including trauma, structural changes within the eye, or weakness in the supporting structures that hold the lens in place. Dislocation of intraocular often leads to visual disturbances such as blurred vision, double vision, or changes in refractive error.

Management of a Dislocated Intraocular Lens depends on the extent of dislocation and its impact on vision. Treatment options in severe cases often requires surgical intervention and involves repositioning of the lens, replacing the lens, or alternative measures depending on each specific situation. Timely evaluation by a vitreoretinal surgeon is important to determine the best course of action and prevent further complications affecting vision.
