Measure
IOL Repositioning
Operation method: Intraocular lens repositioning by scleral suturing 54 patients were randomised to this group. 11 patients were lost to follow-up before the 6-month postoperative visit because of serious illness and 1 death (unrelated to the condition studied).
IOL Exchange
Operation method: Intraocular lens exchange with retropupillary iris-claw lens 50 patients were randomised to this group. 8 patients were lost to follow-up before the 6-month postoperative visit because of serious illness (unrelated to the condition studied).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months (only analyzed/reported for this time frame)

Population: Some missing data due to poor image/measurement quality, overall number of participants therefore lower than the number of participants attending the 6-month visit
