Management of posteriorly dislocated crystalline lens with perfluorocarbon liquid and fibrin glue–assisted scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation

We describe a technique that uses a 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy with perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) and phacoemulsification to manage a dropped nucleus. The PFCL is injected into the vitreous space until the dislocated lens reaches the iris plane and is then removed using phacoemulsification in the anterior chamber. After intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, a 23-gauge forceps is passed through the sclerotomy to grasp the IOL...
