Cystoid macular edema related to intraocular lens dislocation and iris perforation by lens haptic
or a large lens may lead to damage of angle structures resulting in secondary CME. 7With iris-fixated IOLs, direct manipulation of the uveal tissue can incite additional intraocular inflammation. 8The key mechanism seems to be surgically induced anterior segment inflammation that results in the release of endogenous mediators. 9Here, we present a case of severe CME secondary to 3-piece IOL dislocation and iris perforation. CASE REPORTA 64-year-old male patient applied to us for decreased vision in the right eye.He received a secondary sulcus fixated intraocular lens implantation surgery 2 years ago.However, he felt that his right eye vision did not improve significantly.There was no history of trauma or any other surgical intervention.On admission, best corrected visual acuity was 1/10 (Snellen) on the right and 10/10 (Snellen) on the left side.Intraocular pressure measurements were in normal limits.Ocular examination revealed a sulcus fixated foldable
