RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Successful surgical management of interlenticular membrane by vitreoretinal interlenticular membranectomy (VIM) JF BMJ Case Reports JO BMJ Case Reports FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP e242201 DO 10.1136/bcr-2021-242201 VO 14 IS 7 A1 Cheng Fei Kong A1 Brendon Lee A1 John Downie A1 Ian C Francis YR 2021 UL http://casereports.bmj.com/content/14/7/e242201.abstract AB The formation of a light scattering interlenticular membrane (ILM) is a known complication of polypseudophakia and has been particularly noted with the use of dual intracapsular Alcon AcrylSof intraocular lenses (IOLs). The treatment options for this condition have largely been restricted to either Nd:YAG laser membranotomy or explantation of the dual IOL complex. In this case report, we describe an unusual case of ILM in a 76-year-old woman whose ILM had formed between her primary intracapsular IOL and her piggyback sulcal IOL. Furthermore, we describe vitreoretinal interlenticular membranectomy (VIM), a novel technique involving a translimbal anterior interlenticular membranectomy using vitreoretinal instrumentation. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Postoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 6/4, maintained for 3 years of follow-up. VIM is offered as a management option for surgeons to address ILM when Nd:YAG laser therapy fails, and the IOLs cannot be safely explanted.
