Imam Abdulrahman

To study and report a dislocated single piece posterior chamber (PC)intraocular lens (IOL) into the anterior chamber (AC) as a complication resulted from repeated eye poking in a patient with Leber’s congenital amurosis (LCA). A 4-year-old full term female with a past ocular history of LCA presented to the emergency room with a dislocated single piece PC IOL into the AC in her left eye.

She is status post lens aspiration and PC IOL implantation 2 years ago in another eye care facility. The
