Adverse Events Associated With Posteriorly Dislocated Intraocular Lenses in the Vitreous Cavity Without Surgical Intervention
The rate of major complications with posteriorly dislocated intraocular lenses was low. Most complications occurred within 90 days of dislocation. In select patients with medical or ocular comorbidities in whom intraocular lens repair may neither be safe nor significantly improve vision, it may be reasonable to forego or delay surgical intervention, although close monitoring is advisable, especially in the first 2 months after intraocular lens dislocation.
