A 62 years male was undergoing routine cataract procedure under topical anaesthesia and clear corneal incision. A hydrophobic IOL was placed through 2.2 mm tunnel. It was noticed that that the IOL placed was a wrong power lens and which needed to be explanted and exchanged. Sodium Hyaluronate 1.8 % was injected around the IOL. The corneal tunnel was extended by 0.1 mm on either side. With the help of IOL cutting scissor the IOL was cut at the Optic haptic junction 2/3rd of its length. The IOL was then pulled out from one end and rotated at the corneal tunnel junction with minimal damage to the corneal tunnel. Correct power IOL was then placed in the bag. The corneal tunnel was then sutured with 10.0 Nylone.
