Late Dislocation of Intraocular Lens (IOL) Following Cataract Surgery: an Evaluation of Two Different Surgical Methods

Late Dislocation of Intraocular Lens (IOL) Following Cataract Surgery: an Evaluation of Two Different Surgical Methods

A prospective randomized study on patients with late in the bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation, after cataract surgery. To obtain normal visual function, these patients needs surgery. In this study the investigators will look for advantages and dis-advantages after two different surgical approaches to late in-the-bag IOL dislocation.

In this prospective, randomized study The investigators will include at least 80 patients with late intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation in the capsular complex, after cataract surgery. To obtain normal visual function, these patients needs surgery. Today, there are two different methods used for this condition; scleral suturing of the capsular complex or exchange of IOL to an iris-fixated IOL (Verisyse). In this study the investigators will look for advantages and dis-advantages for these two methods.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients with dislocation of IOL in the capsular complex who agree to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

• patients with total dislocation of the capsular complex'
• patients with reduced general health
• patients who can't be randomized
