Subluxation or dislocation of PCIOL is one of the complications of cataract operation in RP patients. This paper reports the presentation of PCIOL dislocation and subluxation and the management and outcome in 3 eyes of 2 RP patients. Two medical records of patients with RP who developed dislocated or subluxated PCIOL and subsequently underwent explantation of the dropped IOL were evaluated. Two...

This is a report of a very rare case of Schwartz Jampel syndrome, with few unusual findings, in a 13 years girl from Nepal, who concurrently also had superotemporal subluxation of the crystalline lens along with blepharophimosis syndrome.

PURPOSE To evaluate the visual acuity outcomes and to investigate the intraocular lens (IOL) and endocapsular ring positions with ultrasound biomicroscopy in 17 eyes of 10 patients with congenital lens subluxation who underwent the same surgical technique, by the same surgeon. METHODS The study was performed in the ''Hospital de Olhos de Pernambuco'' and ''Fundação Altino Ventura''. The surgi...

Marfan syndrome, homocystinuria, trauma, and simple ectopia lentis are the most common causes of pediatric lens subluxation. Many patients are best treated with a careful refraction of the phakic or aphakic pupillary axis. For those patients not achieving satisfactory refractive results, endocapsular lensectomy using modern automated vitreous cutting devices is relatively safe and successful. G...

We report the surgical technique and outcome of planned posterior assisted levitation (P-PAL) in four cases of subluxated cataract. P-PAL was planned as the preferred approach in all cases. A spatula was inserted via the pars plana, the whole lens was lifted to the anterior chamber and then removed through a scleral tunnel incision. Anterior chamber intraocular lenses were implanted in all case...

PU R P O S E. Ectopia lentis remains a therapeutic challenge for ophthalmologists. It classically p resents with a preceding history of blunt or penetrating ocular trauma, or it may be associated with other ocular disorders such as congenital glaucoma and aniridia, or concomitant here d i t a ry systemic diseases such as Marfan syndrome and homocystinuria.
