The One Seoul Eye Clinic is located in Sinsa Square near Sinsa Station in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Our ophthalmology specialists provide care for retinal disease, glaucoma, cataract and presbyopia, vision correction (LASIK, LASEK, implantable lenses), pediatric myopia, and dry eye. We are about 307m from Exit 6 of Sinsa Station on the Sinbundang Line.
Lens dislocation refers to a condition where the artificial lens inserted during cataract surgery moves from its proper position, causing cloudy vision and decreased visual acuity. Additionally, lens dislocation means that the original lens we have moves from its original position due to damage and weakening of the ciliary zonules. Lens dislocation can occur due to genetic disorders such as Marfan syndrome or trauma.
Classification and Symptoms
Causes of artificial lens dislocation include pseudoexfoliation syndrome (a disease characterized by abnormal protein accumulation or deposition in the lens, iris, etc.),
myopia, history of intraocular surgery, and eye trauma. There may be symptoms of cloudy vision, but this can vary depending on the degree of artificial lens dislocation.
Diagnosis Method
Artificial lens dislocation can be discovered and diagnosed simply through slit lamp examination.
Treatment Method
Artificial lens dislocation surgery determines the treatment method according to the degree of lens dislocation.
If the lens is not completely dislocated, scleral fixation surgery can be performed to fix the artificial lens to the sclera or iris to restore it to its proper position.
However, if the lens is completely dislocated and accompanied by other eye diseases, the artificial lens must be completely removed and a new artificial lens inserted. At this time, if the artificial lens extends to the retina or optic nerve, the retina is also included in the surgical scope.

The One Seoul Eye Clinic's Retinal & Glaucoma Center has rich experience in surgery for artificial lens dislocation cases and can expect the best results.
In particular, it has received attention for the paper presentation 'Safety Barricade Suture for Preventing Pupillary Capture of Intraocular Lens With Scleral Fixation : H-Technique (RETINA, 2016)' and has dramatically increased the success rate of scleral fixation surgery with this surgical method.
