Abstract
We the case of a 70-year-old woman who underwent treatment in our clinic and who complained of a severe decrease in vision in her right eye. Five days earlier, an intravitreal dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex) had been injected for the treatment of a central vein occlusion. The slit-lamp examination showed the implant had penetrated the posterior lens capsule and was located in the nucleus of the lens. Cataract removal, repositioning of the implant into Berger’s space through posterior capsulorhexis are described. Also, cases of repositioning of the dexamethasone intralenticular implant into Berger’s space are described.
