Case description

This 46 year old woman has had progressive vision loss from ectopia lentis which is more difficult to correct. Also, her other eye had surgery 5 years ago and she is having a lot of trouble with the anisometropia (imbalance between the two eyes). She was corrected to about 20/60 before the surgery and within 2 months of surgery was 20/25 uncorrected with good function. She had developed an inadvertent filter bleb in the fellow eye following surgery so her IOL was placed through a corneal incision rather than a scleral tunnel. She also requested the ACIOL to balance the two eyes.
