It was reported that a patient experienced a lens positioning change in the left eye four months post-cataract surgery.Regarding pre-existing ocular conditions, it was noted that the patient had previously undergone radial keratotomy (rk) surgery.During the cataract surgery, the surgeon had to use two 10-0 sutures to close the wound due to the previous rk surgery cuts.One of the sutures was radial and the other was circumferential so as to close the gap between the rk surgery incisions.It was specified that the implanted lens vaulted in the posterior direction.In addition, one of the lens platforms came out of the capsular bag in the anterior direction, forming an "l" shape.The lens platform that remained in the capsular bag became "fibrosed," though the haptics remained free.The patient had also noticed a decrease in their vision.A lens exchange was performed twelve days after onset.The patient is expected to return to the clinic for ongoing evaluation and care.
