Inadvertent implantation of a reversed-optic Tecnis ZM900 multifocal intraocular lens: case report

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:	A 51-year-old woman with age-related cataract had an uneventful phacoemulsification and a Tecnis ZM900 multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in both eyes. During IOL implantation in the left eye, the optic was unintentionally reversed in the bag and left that way. The refraction surprise was not significant and six months postoperatively the corrected distance visual acuity in both eyes was 20/20 and neither complained of visual discomfort. In conclusion, we found that a reversed-optic Tecnis multifocal IOL in the present case resulted in good final visual acuity without significant differences in aberrations compared to the other eye, and a conservative management can be taken as a safe option.
