Spontaneous Dislocation of a Foldable Lens Following Phacotrabeculectomy and Implant Insertion: a Case Report

Spontaneous postoperative dislocation of a foldable implant into the anterior chamber has not previously been recorded. Such a case of spontaneous implant (Chiron 32-C10XX) dislocation in the early postoperative period is described following a phacotrabeculectomy procedure along with its successful surgical management. Possible mechanisms of spontaneous implant dislocation in this case were the development of a large post-operative choroidal detachment and the presence of a large capsulorrhexis.
