A dislocated intraocular lens (IOL) is a rare but significant complication that can occur after cataract surgery, affecting both vision clarity and stability. This issue arises when the IOL, typically implanted securely within the eye, shifts from its intended position, potentially causing blurred or double vision, halos, or glare, and in some cases, severe discomfort.

The dislocation can be due to several factors, including natural degeneration of the eye’s supporting structures, trauma, or complications in the healing process. Immediate assessment by an eye care professional is essential, as leaving a dislocated IOL untreated can lead to further complications, such as retinal detachment or increased intraocular pressure.

Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the displacement but may include repositioning the existing lens or replacing it entirely.

Regular post-operative check-ups can help detect early signs of lens movement, making it easier to address the issue before it significantly impacts vision.
