  • Title: Dislocation of a scleral-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens into the anterior chamber associated with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy.

    Abstract:
    A 48-year-old patient with a scleral-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens had dislocation of the intraocular lens into the anterior chamber and associated pseudophakic bullous keratopathy. The patient underwent intraocular lens extraction and partial penetrating keratoplasty. Because an anterior chamber intraocular lens is easier to implant and has fewer complications, surgeons may want to consider this as the first choice for treatment. If the scleral-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens is used, it must be implanted properly and meticulously to avoid complications.
