GUERRA GARCIA, Alejandro; CURBELO CUNILL, Luis; EGUIA MARTINEZ, Frank  e  RIVAS CANINO, María del Carmen. Pars plana vitrectomy and intraocular lens repositioning in the sulcus. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2010, vol.23, suppl.2, pp. 836-846. ISSN 0864-2176.

A case of dislocated intraocular lens moved to the vitreous cavity in a patient with low endothelial cell count and contact lens intolerance was reported. A pars plana vitrectomy with lens repositioning was performed to demonstrate the safety of this technique for some special cases under adequate conditions. The literature was reviewed to learn about the current management of this pathology. Finally, patient's best visual acuity was 20/30. The stability of the lens was confirmed three month l after the vitrectomy. Management of this disorder should be customized. This technique should be considered as the first option of treatment and seems to be safe in selected cases.
