Risk of Breaking Haptic of Trifocal IOL and Its Management

摘要

Fracture of an intraocular lens (IOL) haptic is a rare complication of cataract surgery. A broken haptic can cause serious damage in the anterior and posterior segments. To the best of our knowledge, a broken haptic in a high-quality, commercially available trifocal IOL has not been documented in the literature. Prompt and proactive action at 1 day postoperatively aided in addressing the complication and restoring the vision. We suggest that the ophthalmologist performed a thorough evaluation on the 1st postoperative day and take immediate action after a discussion with the patient and relatives. Key words: Broken haptic, cataract, intraocular lens implant.
