Abstract

Aims:To study factors predicting the visual outcome of PPV done for dislocated crystalline/artificial IOL. Settings and Design:retrospective observational.Subjects and Methods: records of patients with lens retrieval and IOL exchange/repositioning were reviewed.Pre and postop visual acuity were recorded.6 month patient follow-up data were reviewed.Statistical Analysis Used-Chi-square test. Results:Final BCVA 6/60 or better found in the majority of patients within 1 year of dislocation. Significant correlations were found between delayed PPV and postop retinal detachment; between PPV for dislocated nuclear fragments due to complicated cataract surgery and preoperative uveitis, postop CME. Finally, the final BCVA <6/60 had correlations with preoperative corneal edema, uveitis, postoperative CME and RD.Conclusions-In cases of dislocated lens, delayed intervention, dislocated nuclear fragment, preoperative uveitis and corneal edema were related to postop sight-threatening complications
