Removal of Dislocated Intravitreal Lens Nucleus and Lens Fragments
Forty-four eyes of 43 patients with retained intravitreal entire lens, lens nucleus and lens fragments were analysed. The causes of lens dislocation were post couching, following phaco-emulsification, trauma and Mafan's syndrome. Sixteen eyes (36%) with small lens fragments required only pars p...
