Description

A 45 year old male presented with partially exposed haptic loop of a tripod design anterior chamber intraocular
lens (ACIOL) in the right eye. The best corrected vision was 20/60 right eye and 20/20 left eye. The patient refused surgical
intervention of the right eye ACIOL in view of good vision. The patient was counselled against high risk of endophthalmitis
and kept under close observation since last few years. We report a case of exposed loop of ACIOL since last 5 years with
no complications
