Abstract:
PURPOSE: We report two cases of intraocular lens (IOL) pupillary optic capture following IOL scleral fixation treated with argon laser iridotomy. CASE SUMMARY: (Case 1) A 69-year-old man presented with suddenly decreased visual acuity of the left eye. The best-corrected visual acuity was finger count (FC) 30 cm in the left eye. Slit lamp examination revealed subluxation of the left eye IOL. An IOL scleral fixation and anterior vitrectomy were performed and no specific findings were observed. During the follow-up period, pupillary optic capture was repeated without specific causes, such as trauma, or IOL decentration thus, argon laser iridotomy was performed. (Case 2) A 77-year-old man presented with a 3-day history of congestion of the left eye and decreased visual acuity. Best-corrected visual acuity was 0.4 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) in the left eye. Slit lamp examination revealed subluxation of the left eye IOL. An IOL scleral fixation and anterior vitrectomy were performed, and no specific findings were observed. During the follow-up period, pupillary optic capture was found, and IOL repositioning and argon laser iridotomy were performed. CONCLUSIONS: Laser iridotomy can be used to prevent recurrence of pupillary optic capture in eyes with IOL scleral fixation without decentration or distortion.
