Abstract |
The authors present a case of lens dislocation during planned extracapsular lens extraction in a 80-year-old man with exfoliation syndrome. The other eye underwent intracapsular lens extraction without complications such as lens dislocation or vitreous loss. In review of literatures the cause of lens dislocation is due to increased fragility of zonule in exfoliation syndrome. |
