Bilateral late posterior chamber intraocular lens dislocation with the capsular bag in a patient with gyrate atrophy.

Abstract

A pseudophakic patient with gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina presented with bilateral intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation with the capsular bag several years after uneventful cataract surgery. The patient had not performed strenuous physical activity. One IOL was initially repositioned by nonsurgical manipulations, while the other required surgical repositioning. Eventually, IOL exchange was performed successfully in both eyes.
