Cataract surgery is one of the most common types of eye surgeries. It’s safe and effective at treating cataracts — a clouding of the clear lens of the eye. During cataract surgery, doctors remove the cloudy lens (cataract) and replace it with an implant, called an intraocular lens. Sometimes called an IOL, an intraocular lens helps you see more clearly and can even be used to correct other vision problems and eliminate the need for prescription eyeglasses. Though rare, an intraocular lens can move out of position after surgery. This is called intraocular lens dislocation.

Treatment for intraocular lens dislocation varies based on the severity of the lens’s movement. In some cases, special eye drops or patches can be used to help your eye heal.
