Methods: A 36-year-old man sustained a flap dehiscence following traumatic right eye gouging by a seagull claw. He presented the following day with uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) in the affected eye of 3/200 and organic foreign body deposits underneath the flap.
Purpose: To evaluate prospectively the incidence and severity of centripetal lens epithelial cell migration (CLECM) onto the anterior surface of the Alcon SA60AT intraocular lens (IOL).

A 49-year-old man had uneventful endocapsular phacoemulsification with in-the-bag implantation of an AcrySof SA60AT single-piece intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon) in the right eye. Twenty-seven days postoperatively, he presented with ocular pain, intraocular pressure of 48 mm Hg, 360 degrees of hyperpigmentation of the trabecular meshwork, and iris pigment epithelial atrophy in the region of the upper temporal haptic, which had dislocated into the sulcus. The patient made an excellent recovery following IOL removal and exchange.
