Abstract

Cataract surgeries have undergone a great evolution over a period of time. This evolution helped in reducing the overall rate of spontaneous dislocation of Intra Ocular Lens (IOL) and provide a standard management for cataracts. Until in recent times, cases have been reported with spontaneous dislocation of IOL. This spontaneous dislocation of the intra ocular lens (IOL) with intact capsular bag can be typically seen in conditions resulting from zonular insufficiency and zonulysis [1]. This has usually been associated with conditions like, posterior capsular rent, post ND: YAG laser, trauma, pseudo exfoliation, myopia and other risk factors [2-5]. Although, IOL dislocation can occasionally occur in a spontaneous manner without any predisposing factors [5-10].
