Abstract
A 40-year-old man had phacoemulsification through microincisions with placement of a foldable single-piece acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) (Acri. Smart 48S, Acri.Tech) in a previously vitrectomized eye, and the IOL sank into the vitreous space through a capsule tear. The patient remained aphakic postoperatively, with the IOL moving around due to gravity. He had frequent follow-up visits for close observation. During evaluation 4 months after surgery, the vision was better and examination revealed that the IOL had returned to the front of the capsule.
