Removal of Posteriorly Dislocated Intra-ocular Lens and Replacement with New Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens

This 70 year-old woman noticed sudden vision loss 2 years following cataract surgery.  Her flexible lens implant had dislocated posteriorly.  After a month, the intra-ocular lens was still mobile inside her eye.  It was decided to remove the lens.  There was enough capsular support for a larger, stiffer intraocular lens to be placed behind the iris in the "sulcus".  This surgery was done under local anesthesia.
