Ozana Moraru, MD, presents a case of a man with choroideremia and a history of cataract surgery with implantation of an in-the-bag PC-IOL 10 years ago. He recently experienced a sudden drop in visual acuity and presented with the complex PC-IOL and capsular bag fallen into the posterior pole due to total zonular rupture.
