Abstract

Dislocated PC IOL management by externalizing the haptic through a clear corneal incision stabilized the IOL in the anterior chamber, minimized intraocular operative manipulations, and allowed easier placement of the opposite haptic over residual capsule, if available. Stable fixation was achieved without dislocation or IOL-related complications recurring.
