Two cases illustrating a method for managing the complication of migration of an Ozurdex implant into the anterior chamber of a pseudophakic eye. The technique describes the use of a 30-gauge needle to correctly replace the implant back into the vitreous cavity. Purpose: To describe a novel office procedure that permits the repositioning of an Ozurdex implant from the anterior chamber back into the vitreous cavity. Methods: Description of an office technique for Ozurdex repositioning using a 30-gauge needle. Results: In both cases, the Ozurdex implant was successfully returned to the vitreous cavity. In Case 1, the patient's visual acuities 1 and 2 weeks after this were 20/70 and 20/40, respectively, and had no further complications. In Case 2, the patient returned 1 week later, with the implant remaining posterior and a visual acuity of 20/40. Conclusion: The success of this novel technique in these cases demonstrates the potential to avoid a surgical procedure in the event of Ozurdex implant migration to the anterior chamber, while at the same time allowing the Ozurdex implant to remain effective in the eye.
