Purpose: Fracture of a three-piece polyimide–elastimide intraocular lens at the optic–haptic junction following blunt trauma is a possible complication after cataract surgery. We report a case of an isolated posterior chamber intraocular lens fracture caused by direct ocular blunt trauma. Case: A 51-year-old patient underwent blunt orbital trauma caused by a raw chicken egg that was thrown at him, as he was walking. The posterior chamber intraocular lens was found in the anterior chamber, with a broken optic–haptic junction. The intraocular lens was exchanged, followed by iris fixation and pupilloplasty, with satisfactory postoperative anatomical and optical outcomes. Discussion: The three-piece polyimide–elastimide intraocular lens was fractured at the optic–haptic junction. Although the fractured intraocular lens surface had a regular appearance, it has been previously reported that the polyimide haptic’s durability is probably inferior to that of polymethylmethacrylate. Therefore, it is highly susceptible to shear stress induced by a blunt trauma. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is an uncommon report of an implanted posterior chamber polyimide–elastimide intraocular lens fracture following blunt orbital trauma. Intraocular lens exchange and fixation had successful optical and anatomical results.

Purpose: We report the longest follow-up to our knowledge of stable scleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) with 10-0 polypropylene sutures. Methods: A retrospective review is presented of a case with more than 30 years’ follow-up after performing sutured scleral fixation with 10-0 polypropylene suture using 2 sutures tied together under a scleral flap. One suture was a cow-hitch looped around the haptic, and the other suture was passed through the sclera to create the scleral fixation. Results: The scleral fixation with 10-0 polypropylene suture knots for both haptics of the PC IOL allowed central optic positioning with excellent vision for more than 30 years without suture breakage. Conclusions: Polypropylene sutures for scleral fixation of PC IOLs remained stable for more than 30 years with central positioning of the PC IOL, without exposure of the fixation suture knots through the conjunctiva, and without suture breakage.
