Abstract
A 58-year-old man's posterior chamber intraocular lens dislocated afte r a transscleral fixation suture was removed during a routine eye exam ination. The lens had to be repositioned. A scleral flap over the fixa tion sutures and a better understanding by general ophthalmologists of transscleral fixation suturing would have prevented this complication .
