| dc.description.abstract | A retrospective consecutive noncomparative case series of 5 eyes (5 patients) with IOL dislocation and retinal detachment is reported. Following thorough ophthalmic exam, an ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) of the ciliary area was performed in order to evaluate the position of the IOL haptics, the ciliary body area, the vitreous base and far retinal periphery. In all eyes, the haptics were in various positions – behind the iris, in the capsular bag, in the ciliary sulcus, in front of pars plana. UBM proved to be a very useful imaging technique for assessment of IOL haptic subluxation and the accompanying changes in the ciliary body and anterior vitreous, which may play a role in the occurrence of retinal detachment in pseudophakic eyes and its unsuccessful scleral buckling surgery. | en_US |
