PURPOSE We present a newly developed approach to secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, which uses an artificial bag with optic capture (i.e., ABC technique) in patients with IOL dislocation. METHODS This is a retrospective, noncomparative, and interventional case series which reveals the results of secondary IOL implantation using an artificial bag with optic capture in four cases of IOL dislocation. All patients underwent the above-mentioned surgery and were followed up for at least 6 months. RESULTS The best corrected visual acuity of patients ranged from 20/30 to 20/20. IOL of all patients showed no tilting or decentration with normal intraocular pressure. CONCLUSION We believe that this method produces satisfactory results and will be especially beneficial to retinal surgeons for the management of patients with IOL dislocation.
