Bibliographical note
Funding Information:We utilized a Sinskey hook, Artisan® forceps, and the 27-gauge cannula connected to the viscoelastics device to rescue and re-fixate the RPICIOL in a minimally invasive manner with a simple clear corneal incision approach without the need for placement of a trocar/cannula in previously vitrecomized eyes. This surgical technique reduces the operating time and costs while accelerating visual recovery. This is particularly important to these patients with dislocated RPICIOL, as in most cases the procedure for rescue and refixation would at least be the third intraocular surgery for the patient. Utilizing our simple technique, we observed excellent postoperative results with significant long-term RPICIOL stability, sustained UDVA improvement, and minimal endothelial damage.
