IOL SUBLUXATION Many types of adverse events associated with intraocular lenses (IOLs) may require exchanging, removing, or repositioning an IOL. They include incorrect IOL power, malpositioned IOLs, damaged IOLs, lens optic abnormalities such as glistenings, and optical phenomena such as dysphotopsias, glare, and monocular diplopia.1 IOL dislocation, although uncommon, has an incidence of 0.2% to 3.0%.2
Causes of dislocation. Early dislocation may result from zonular weakness caused by iatrogenic surgical damage or trauma.
Late dislocations, occurring more than three months after cataract surgery, are commonly caused by pseudoexfoliation,3 trauma, connective tissue disorders (e.g., Marfan syndrome, hyperlysinemia, homocystinuria, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome), capsular contraction, surgical trauma, high myopia, and retinitis pigmentosa.4
