• Purpose To characterize patients with late intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation to evaluate possible risk factors, determine the time between cataract surgery and IOL repositioning, describe the surgical management, and estimate the incidence. Setting Department of Ophthalmology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Mölndal, Sweden. Design Case series. Methods Medical records from the cataract surgery and IOL repositioning were reviewed. Results The study enrolled 84 eyes, 63 with in-the-bag IOL dislocation and 21 with out-of-the-bag IOL dislocation. The prevalence of pseudoexfoliation (PXF) was 60% and of glaucoma, 36%. A high proportion of eyes with IOL dislocation (37%) had zonular dehiscence at cataract surgery. The median time from cataract surgery to IOL repositioning surgery was significantly shorter in eyes with out-of-the-bag IOL dislocation (3.2 years) than in eyes with in-the-bag IOL dislocation (6.7 years) ( P = .029). The interval was also significantly shorter in eyes with zonular dehiscence. Using data from the National Cataract Register, the calculated incidence of IOL repositioning surgery per pseudophakic individuals in western Sweden was 0.050%. Conclusions The possible major predisposing factors for late IOL dislocation were PXF, glaucoma, and cataract surgery complicated by zonular dehiscence. Primary placement of the IOL in the ciliary sulcus was associated with earlier IOL dislocation. Intraocular lens repositioning surgery using a posterior or anterior approach was successful in many cases.
