Explantation of a Dislocated IOL and Secondary Scleral Fixation of Akreos Lens

A 55-year-old man presented with a dislocated 3-piece intraocular lens (IOL) encased in a Sommering's ring. The surgeons demonstrate removal of the Sommering's ring from the vitreous cavity followed by cutting the IOL in the anterior chamber and explanting it through a small clear corneal wound. The surgeons then implant an Akreos AO Lens IOL (Bausch + Lomb, Bridgewater, NJ) with scleral fixation using a CV-8 GORE-TEX (WL Gore & Associates, Inc, Elkton, MD) suture.
