J Cataract Refract Surg. 1999 Oct;25(10):1418-9. doi: 10.1016/s0886-3350(99)00212-6.

Abstract

An 85-year-old man developed an anterior dislocation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) after blunt trauma. The dislocated IOL was exchanged for an anterior chamber IOL. Visual acuity was 20/40 at the 6 month follow-up. This case presents an unusual sequela of trauma to a pseudophakic eye and discusses management issues that should be considered.
