After a complete 23G vitrectomy under wide-angle viewing system or high magnification contact lens, the 22G I.V. catheter was connected to the vitreotome aspiration and active aspiration was applied. When the IOLs were lifted towards the posterior chamber by continuous vacuum aspiration, they were be safely grasped using intraocular forceps and reposited with scleral fixation suturing or removed through a limbal incision.
