  • Title: Spontaneous intraocular lens extrusion in a patient with scleromalacia secondary to herpes zoster ophthalmicus.
    Author: Ahmed TY, Carrim ZI, Diaper CJ, Wykes WN.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2007 May; 33(5):925-6. PubMed ID: 17466876.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of spontaneous intraocular lens (IOL) extrusion in association with scleromalacia 10 years after uneventful endocapsular surgery. The patient had a history of iridocyclitis secondary to herpes zoster ophthalmicus in the affected eye. A minimally invasive approach involving repositioning the IOL and closure with a conjunctival flap resulted in restoration of visual acuity.
