Abstract
We report a rare case of an intravitreal dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex®) inadvertently located within the capsular bag following a uneventful cataract surgery. A 46-year-old female patient with a history of recalcitrant uveitis in the left eye presented with diminished vision in the right eye. She was diagnosed with a complicated cataract with 360° posterior synechiae. After manual small incision cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation, the patient received an intravitreal Ozurdex implant to mitigate possible exacerbation of preexisting uveitis. Postoperatively, the implant was visualized within the capsular bag, confirmed by anterior segment optical coherence tomography. This rare event highlights an unusual complication of intravitreal Ozurdex injection and emphasizes the importance of technique and anatomical considerations during administration.
