Abstract
Pseudophacocele is defined as displacement of artificial lens which is implanted after cataract surgery in subconjunctival space. The number of cases reported worldwide is very less in number. This condition needs differentiation from phacocele. Blunt ocular trauma to post cataract surgery eyes can cause artificiallens dislodgement and fracture of inntraocular lens implant in subconjunctival space and other ocular regions.
Here we report a case of 40 year male who presented with complaints of diminution in vision, pain and redness in right eye following blunt trauma by cow’s horn 15 days back. He had history of cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation 5 years back. On ocular examination a posterior chamber intraocular lens was seen in the anterior chamber with a broken haptic which migrated into subconjunctival space in the perilimbal area supero-temporally. He was managed with IOL explantation with implantation of sclera fixated IOL and repair of scleral wound.
