The optimal treatment of intraocular lens (IOL) subluxation remains contested, and clinical trials comparing the various methods employed are limited. The possible surgical approaches to treat IOL subluxation include IOL exchange to an anterior chamber IOL or an iris-claw IOL; scleral fixation of a posterior chamber (PC) IOL; or iris fixation (including iris suture fixation). Typically, a surgeon?s technique of choice for the treatment of subluxated IOLs depends largely on that surgeon?s experience with a certain method. This presentation will discuss some of these techniques through video presentations with special emphasis on the instruments needed for the surgery as well as pearls for a successful surgical outcome.
