Complete Anterior Dislocation of Capsular Tension Ring-Intraocular Lens Complex

Tzu-Heng Weng, Shang-Yi Chiang

Purpose: We report a rare case of complete anterior dislocation of the capsular tension ring (CTR)-Intraocular lens (IOL) complex spontaneously.
Methods: Case report.
Results: The patient was initially treated conservatively because she was unwilling to receive operation. However, surgical treatment was eventually performed when the implant attached to her cornea and caused endothelial decompensation. From an outpatient department review several months later, it was found that her corneal edema and visual acuity improved.
Conclusion: The possibility of CTR-IOL anterior dislocation should be mentioned to the patient before mydriatic examination. Surgical options should be taken early especially once complications such as uveitis, glaucoma, macular edema and corneal endothelium decompensation happen.
