Migration of a Dexamethasone Intravitreal Implant to the Anterior Chamber in a Patient with a Intra-Scleral Haptic Fixated Intraocular Lens

PURPOSE: To report a case of posterior to anterior migration of a dexamethasone (Ozurdex) implant in a case of scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) via Yamane technique. METHODS/PATIENTS: Single case report. RESULTS: Dexamethasone implant was successfully removed in the operating room. The patie...

Sumario:PURPOSE: To report a case of posterior to anterior migration of a dexamethasone (Ozurdex) implant in a case of scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) via Yamane technique. METHODS/PATIENTS: Single case report. RESULTS: Dexamethasone implant was successfully removed in the operating room. The patient had improved confrontational visual field and did not develop corneal edema nor intraocular pressure elevation. CONCLUSION: In the presence of a stable SFIOL via Yamane technique, posterior chamber implants may migrate to the anterior chamber. Clinicians may wish to exercise additional caution in injecting posterior chamber steroid implants in this patient population.
