  Purpose: To verify the risk factors that influences the Intraocular Lens (IOL) dislocation. Materials and methods: The time to of in-the-bag IOL (242 eyes) dislocation after the initial surgery was examined using patient characteristics and risk factors. The examined risk factors included 11 factors associated with underlying diseases (trauma, Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome (PE), atopic dermatitis, retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma attack, glaucoma, short axial length, long axial length, uveitis, scleral buckling, post-pars plana vitrectomy) and two factors associated with the initial surgical findings (Zonular Weakness (ZW), posterior capsule rupture). In addition, the 242 eyes were classified into four groups (group A, PE+ ZW+; group B, PE- ZW+; group C, PE+ ZW-; group D, PE- ZW-) and the dislocation period was examined. Results.. View More»
