1M.D. Asistant Professor, Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Aydın/TURKEY2M.D. Professor, Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Aydın/TURKEY A 69-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of decreased visual acuity. In the ophthalmologic examination, the patient was found to have a cataract and operation was planned. During his cataract operation, the IOL's leg was trapped in the cartridge and broken. Small-incision IOL exchange using the hand-fan technique was performed. We believe that this method can be performed safely in patients who need to undergo IOL exchange.
