Abstract
This chapter will focus on techniques for the repair of dislocated intraocular lenses (IOLs) and placement of secondary IOLs in patients with uveitis. Secondary IOL placement in uveitic eyes introduces risk for the development of chronic uveitis from a variety of mechanisms including anatomic chaffing of uveal tissues. This chapter will review the anatomic and IOL design options for secondary IOL placement in uveitic eyes with a focus on minimizing the induction of inflammation. An additional focus of this chapter is on the apparent increased risk for dislocation of primary IOLs as a result of enhanced risk for capsule contraction syndrome and zonulopathy in eyes with uveitis
