Abstract:
There are 2 subluxations of Binkhorst 2-loop lens among my 70 cases of intraocular lens implantation during 4 years duration. One Worst Medallion lens that was implanted by American doctor had subluxation 10 months after operation and managed with medical treatment by the author. One of the Binkhorst 2-loop lens was reposited by surgical method and another 2-loop lens was removed due to incomplete constriction of the pupil with vitreous prolapse during surgical manipulation. The two reposited caSeS had good vision but the removed case had very poor vision(20/200) due to Severe corneal endothelial dystrophy.
