Abstract:
PURPOSE: To report 2 cases of WIOL-CF(R) intraocular lens (IOL) (Gelmed International, Kamenne Zehrovice, Czech Republic) dislocation after neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy. CASE SUMMARY: A 78-year-old female was referred for IOL dislocation. She was implanted with WIOL-CF(R) IOL 18 months prior. Two months after WIOL-CF(R) implantation, she received Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy at a local clinic. Pars plana vitrectomy and transscleral fixation of IOL were performed. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report of WIOL-CF(R) IOL dislocation after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy in unvitrectomized eyes. When Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy is performed after WIOL-CF(R) IOL implantation, IOL dislocation should be considered even in unvitrectomized eyes.
