Presentation of two cases of crystalline lens posterior dislocation with concomitant, total, funnel-shaped retinal detachment.
The described patients were myopes and both had lost vision of the other eye earlier due to the same cause. The operation of dislocated lens removal through the limbal incision with the use of pars plana vitrectomy and simultaneous retinal detachment surgery were performed.
In one patient almost full visual acuity was achieved, and in the second case visual acuity was improved to 3/50.
The use of vitrectomy methods, including subretinal fluid drainage and intraocular silicone oil tamponade, enables efficient treatment of patients with dislocated lenses even in cases with total retinal detachment.
