Once inadvertent injection of Ozurdex into the crystalline lens occurs, the clinical management strategy might be based on whether the implant is directly in contact with the vitreous or is mostly inside the crystalline lens. Sir, With time the number of patients undergoing intravitreal injections has grown exponentially, hence increasing the risk of accidental trauma to the lens. Despite its intralenticular location, there was an improvement of macular edema in our case, although the therapeutic effect of intralenticular Ozurdex implant is controversial.[[3]] The implant was presumed to be partially intralenticular and partially intravitreal, later proven by the preexistent PCR discovered intraoperatively.
