Abstract
To describe results in two cases of a dislocated silicone plate haptic intraocular lens managed with vitrectomy and repositioning with scleral suture fixation. Small case series. Two patients presenting with dislocated silicone plate haptic intraocular lens underwent a 23-gauge vitrectomy with a "handshake" maneuver to pass a 9-0 prolene suture through the positioning holes to allow scleral fixation. Best-corrected visual acuity was returned to predislocation Level 2 and 8 months after the vitrectomy. Silicone plate haptic intraocular lens can be managed with scleral suture fixation using this adapted technique, avoiding removal and exchange techniques. These are the first reported cases of silicone plate haptic intraocular lens managed with scleral suture repositioning.
