Slit-lamp findings and Scheimpflug imaging after anterior dislocation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC/IOL) in a patient with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. Prominent features of pseudoexfoliation on the right anterior lens capsule (red arrow, a). Narrowing of the anterior chamber after anterior dislocation of the PC/IOL in the right eye (red arrow, b). Normal anterior segment with wide anterior chamber after cataract surgery in the left eye (red arrow, c). Scheimpflug examination confirmed the anterior dislocation of the PC/IOL in the right eye (red line, d). Anterior chamber depth was 3.93 mm. Normal in-the-bag position of the PC/IOL in the left eye (red line, e). Anterior chamber depth was 5.21 mm.

PC/IOL implantation in the right eye (OD) in January 2006. Preoperative routine examination disclosed a bilateral corticonuclear cataract as well as features of PES OD (fig. 1a). Slit-lamp examination demonstrated a marked shallowing of the anterior chamber, without any other visible pathological findings (fig. 1b). Scheimpflug examination documented a prominent axial anterior dislocation of the PC/IOL OD, without fluid accumulation between the posterior capsule and the PC/IOL (fig. 1d). The PC/IOL was sitting in the capsular bag OS, and the anterior chamber depth was 5.21 mm (fig. 1c, e).
