# Spontaneous repositioning of posterior chamber intraocular lens: a mere coincidence?

## TL;DR

A rare case of an intraocular lens spontaneously returning to its correct position after dislocation, possibly due to medication effects.

## Contribution

Reports a novel case of spontaneous intraocular lens repositioning without surgical intervention.

## Key findings

- An anteriorly subluxated intraocular lens spontaneously repositioned in the left eye.
- The repositioning may have been caused by the topical use of brimonidine and prednisolone.
- No aggressive manipulation or surgery was required to treat the dislocation.

## Abstract

Despite the recent developments in modern cataract surgery and the application of
a vast array of new devices and machines, late in-the-bag intraocular lens
dislocation remains a devastating, albeit rare, complication. Various
nonsurgical and surgical techniques have been used to manage this complication.
We report a case of spontaneous repositioning in the left eye of an anteriorly
subluxated in-the-bag intraocular lens. The spontaneous repositioning may have
been caused by antagonistic effects related to the topical administration of
brimonidine and prednisolone. The dislocation was treated without aggressive
manipulation or surgical intervention.
