Anterior Chamber Dislocation of Dexamethasone Implant in the Presence of Carlevale Sutureless Scleral Fixation Intraocular Lens.

ABSTRACT: Dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex^®; Allergan, Inc., CA, USA) has been proved to be effective in a variety of clinical settings including cases of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema. Uncommonly, this implant can migrate from the vitreous cavity and into the anterior chamber, especially in vitrectomized eyes with lens capsule defects. We report herein a rare case of anterior chamber migration and illustrate the passageway of the dexamethasone intravitreal implant through a new type of scleral fixated lens, the Carlevale IOL (Soleko-Italy). A 78-year-old woman was left aphakic following a complicated right eye hypermature cataract surgery with posterior capsule rupture and zonular dehiscence. Shortly thereafter, she underwent a planned combined pars plana vitrectomy with
