A 76-year-old woman presented with sudden blurred vision in the right eye. She had previously undergone IOL scleral fixation due to traumatic cataract and acute angle-closure glaucoma. IOL tilt was revealed on examination, and repositioning was performed with polypropylene sutures across the pupil from limbus to limbus by forming an A shape to stabilize the IOL and prevent rotation. 6 months after the repositioning surgery, the IOL was well positioned and the patient's corrected distance visual acuity improved from counting fingers to 20/25. This surgical technique was successfully performed for a patient with IOL tilt. It decreased operative time and corneal damage while increasing IOL stability. The procedure was a safe and effective alternative to IOL exchange for a patient with inadequate capsular support.","PeriodicalId":227563,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery Online Case Reports","volume":"207 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139282608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) becomes more used, it is important to recognize the risk for bilateral endophthalmitis leading to permanent vision loss. This report reviews a devastating complication of ISBCS. Patient and Clinical Findings: We report a 64-year-old man who underwent ISBCS, who presented with severe headache and eye pain late in the course of bilateral endophthalmitis. The right eye was disorganized with shrinkage in addition to superior scleral rupture/melt and prolapsed uveal tissue. The left eye showed superior complete scleral thinning with an exposed intraocular lens. Diagnosis, Intervention, and Outcomes: Computed tomography maxillofacial study confirmed bilateral endophthalmitis with deformation of the globes with abscess formation. A culture of the exposed purulent material revealed multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Owing to the severity of the infection, a primary bilateral enucleation was performed, which was tolerated well without signs of systemic infection. Conclusions: Surgeons should proceed with caution, given the devastating complications that can come with ISBCS. Stricter criteria for patient selection may avoid complications when patient reliability or incomplete medical history is of concern.","PeriodicalId":227563,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery Online Case Reports","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133801166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
