Abstract |
We report a case of spontaneous intraocular lens (IOL) extrusion in association with scleromalacia 10 years after uneventful endocapsular surgery. The patient had a history of iridocyclitis secondary to herpes zoster ophthalmicus in the affected eye. A minimally invasive approach involving repositioning the IOL and closure with a conjunctival flap resulted in restoration of visual acuity.
