Decentration of a toric intraocular lens implant in a patient with simple megalocornea.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe a patient who developed radial displacement of the capsular bag and toric intraocular lens implant within approximately 5 weeks after surgery.

Observations

A patient underwent uncomplicated cataract extraction and implantation of a toric IOL for 2.5 diopters (D) of preoperative corneal astigmatism. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) on postoperative day 1 was 20/20. Blurriness developed 5 weeks after surgery when UCVA was 20/70 but corrected to 20/20 with 2 D of cylinder in a new axis. The IOL was in the proper axis, but it and the capsular bag were radially displaced. Dilated examination revealed posterior capsular opacification superotemporally, outside the visual axis. The patient's biometry revealed axial myopia and megalocornea (white-to-white measurem
