  • Title: Management of a posteriorly dislocated endocapsular tension ring and a foldable acrylic intraocular lens.
    Author: Bhattacharjee H, Bhattacharjee K, Das D, Jain PK, Chakraborty D, Deka S.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2004 Jan; 30(1):243-6. PubMed ID: 14967296.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of late spontaneous extension of a posterior capsule tear from lateral traction of an endocapsular ring, resulting in dislocation of the capsular tension ring and acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) into the vitreous cavity. A 3-port pars plana vitrectomy was performed to explant the prostheses; the eye was made pseudophakic by placement of a scleral-fixated posterior chamber IOL. The combined triple procedure was safe and effective.
