A 34 year-old patient presented at our clinic with impaired vision in his right eye after an ocular trauma, one year after bilateral myopia surgery involving implantation of an Artisan® phakic intraocular lens in both eyes. Ocular trauma was due to an aggressive punch in the face. The patient was diagnosed with IOL subluxation, but he rejected surgery for lens repositioning. He returned to the clinic 30 days later and was now willing to undergo the proposed surgery, which was performed without complications. During subsequent follow-up, the patient exhibited normal endothelial cell density and no ocular alterations were observed. Visual acuity was recovered to previous levels. The patient reported no subjective signs of visual discomfort.
