Needle-guided intrascleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens for aphakia correction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a technique for the surgical correction of aphakia that allows intrascleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) without sutures. The technique is useful in situations in which one haptic has to be fixated and capsule support is adequate for fixation of the second haptic. The haptic is externalized with a 25-gauge needle; no surgical instrumentation other than that needed for conventional cataract surgery is used. The technique is particularly appropriate for 3-piece IOLs with flexible haptics.

Visual outcomes of posterior chamber intraocular lens intrascleral fixation in the setting of postoperative and posttraumatic aphakia
BACKGROUND Several techniques for fixation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) have been developed. We evaluate long-term functional outcomes and safety of posterior chamber IOL implantation using Hoffman scleral haptic fixation and sutureless Sharioth technique in patients with posttraumatic and postoperative aphakia. METHODS This retrospective case-series included 42 eyes operat...

METHODS We included seven eyes in which sutureless intrascleral posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) fixation was performed. Pre- and post-surgical best-corrected visual acuity (LogMAR) and refraction changes were analyzed. There was a one year follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS Sutureless intrascleral posterior chamber intraocular lens fixation is, in our experience, a safe technique that all...
متن کاملExposure of haptic of posterior chamber intraocular lens after sutureless intrascleral fixation
BACKGROUND A technique of sutureless intrascleral fixation of an intraocular lens (IOL) in an eye that lacks a posterior capsular support has been reported. The advantage of this technique was that the suture-related complications did not develop. However, the long-term complications of a sutureless IOL implantation have not been reported. CASE PRESENTATION A 75-years-old man had a sutureless...

The capsule of the crystalline lens, if sufficiently present, is used as a support tissue for intraocular lens (IOL) implantation surgery performed on vitrectomized eyes. Eye trauma or iatrogenic damage during complicated cataract surgery, loss of position and zonule connections of the crystalline lens, and IOL via dislocation may cause loss of support tissue for lens capsule implantation prior...
متن کاملSurgical technique for transscleral fixation of a foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens.
The safety and efficacy of a modified technique for transscleral fixation of a foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) for intracapsular aphakia (secondary IOL) or after complicated phacoemulsification was evaluated. All eyes had inadequate or no posterior capsular support. Follow-up was between 4 and 26 months (mean, 12 months). Uncorrected visual acuity improved (> 2 lines) in all p...
