Key Highlights
- There is no single best approach for replacing a dislocated IOL.
- Options discussed include anterior chamber IOLs, iris fixation, scleral fixation using Yamane or trocar-based techniques, and sutured lenses using Gore-Tex.
- Patient selection is important because techniques have different advantages and disadvantages.
- Ocular health, prior surgeries, and conjunctival health are factors to consider when selecting an IOL placement approach.
- Maintaining a small corneal wound during IOL removal can limit corneal astigmatism.
