Intraocular Lens Dislocation Secondary to Soemmeringâs Ring

A 58-year-old Caucasian female presented to the clinic with progressive cloudy vision in her left eye. She had an ocular prosthesis in her right eye, and her visual acuity was 20/100 and intra-ocular pressure was 32 mm-Hg in her left eye. Exam revealed a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) lens with the optic and inferior haptic anterior to the iris. She had trace pigmented cells and a ring-shaped scar posterior to the iris consistent with a Soemmering's ring.. This was confirmed on ultrasound biomicroscopy and determined to be the causative etiology of her intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation.
