November consultation #5

This patient clearly has visual impairment attributable to (1) a significantly dislocated IOL, and (2) iris pigment defects probably because of mechanical contact between the poorly secured and anteriorly dislocated IOL. The goal is to reposition or exchange the IOL with a placement such that there is no contact with uveal tissue. This patient is young; therefore, any repair should be undertaken with the idea that it will be durable for 30 to 40 years.
