Popis:	In-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation is a well-known complication after cataract surgery. As the number of cataract surgeries performed annually continues to increase, so will the incidence of IOL dislocations requiring surgical correction. Described is a new technique for rescue and refixation of a single-piece acrylic IOL. In this method, a new instrument called the IOL punch is used to create a hole at the optic-haptic junction or along the border of the optic, which acts as an anchor point for centration and subsequent scleral fixation of a dislocated IOL. The IOL punch allows for precise intraocular manipulation of the IOL and is less invasive compared with popular scleral fixation methods. This innovative technique may decrease the risk for postoperative complications and allows patients to maintain or recover previous uncorrected visual acuity by circumventing the need for IOL explantation or exchange.
