Anterior segment examination revealed that the eye was aphakic and there were dense pseudoexfoliation materials on the pupillary area. Posterior segment examination revealed that the crystalline lens was in vitreous. Different intraocular lens (IOL) implantation methods such as anterior chamber IOL implantation, iris fixated IOL implantation, and scleral fixated posterior chamber IOL implantation are available to eliminate visual problems in aphakic eyes without capsular support. Aim of this case report is to demonstrate the functional and anatomical success of a patient with crystalline lens dislocation into the vitreous cavity treated with transconjunctival intrascleral haptic fixated intraocular lens implantation with pars plana vitrectomy.
