Figure 1 Anterior segment photography of the right eye.

Notes: White arrow: slit lamp light over the anterior intraocular lens surface. Black arrow: slit lamp light over the posterior intraocular lens surface. Gray arrow: slit lamp light over the posterior capsule.

Figure 2 Comparative ultrabiomicroscopies of both eyes. (A) Right eye. The intraocular lens is displacing the iris forward. There is an echo-negative space between the intraocular lens and the distended posterior capsule. (B) Left eye. A normally placed intraocular lens. There is no abnormal contact with any surrounding structure.
