Fig. 1. (A) Preoperative slit-lamp photograph of the right eye shows an otherwise normal anterior segment except for mild cataract, which is thought be related to phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. (B) Retro-illumination shows a dislocated phakic IOL behind the crystalline lens. Note the margin of the phakic IOL (arrows). (C) After instillation of viscoelastic material into the anterior chamber through a 2.2-mm clear corneal incision during the operation, extensive zonular dialysis was confirmed (2 to 8 o'clock, arrowheads). (D) The phakic IOL was located between the crystalline lens and anterior hyaloid face (Berger's space). Note the margin of the phakic IOL (arrows).
