BACKGROUND The dislocation of the crystalline lens is a common finding in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS). Scleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation is an accepted treatment method of this complication. To now, no long-term data on scleral IOL fixation in MFS exist. METHODS We present a retrospective study of 27 eyes of 17 MFS patients that underwent scleral lens fixation at our clinic betw...

Treatment options for symptomatic subluxated or dislocated IOLs include observation; and repositioning, removal, or exchange of the IOL. We describe a surgical technique of trans-scleral suture fixation for subluxated bag-IOL complex. A 29 year old male; known case of bilateral recurrent tubercular panuveitis underwent left eye phacoemulsification with three piece hydrophobic acrylic IOL implan...

Single loop fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens in the presence of partial capsular support is usually performed by creation of additional scleral flap or tunnel. This extra port may expose the suture holding the intraocular lens or the tucked-in lens haptics to the outside environment thereby increasing the risk of endophthalmitis. We describe a technique of single loop fixation whe...

Purpose: To compare and investigate the short-term clinical outcomes between 10-0 polypropylene sutured intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation modified Yamane sutureless IOL in patients with or crystalline les dislocation aphakic state.Methods: From August 2012 to May 2022, medical records were retrospectively analyzed for 43 40 fixation. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected (BCVA)...

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...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the methods described in the literature in the past year (from August 2003 to date). RECENT FINDINGS Techniques for scleral and iris suturing have proven safe and effective to fixate posterior chamber intraocular lenses and avoid the sight-threatening complications of anterior chamber lenses. SUMMARY Scleral and iris fixation have both become well-established eff...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcome in 29 patients (29 eyes) who underwent penetrating keratoplasty and scleral-fixation of an intraocular lens. METHODS The indications for penetrating keratoplasty with scleral-fixation of an intraocular lens were anterior chamber pseudophakic corneal edema, aphakic corneal edema, trauma, and corneal scars. Patients with pseudophakic corneal edema underw...

Purpose. To compare ab interno and ab externo scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PCIOL) using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). Methods. Randomized patients underwent ab externo or ab interno scleral fixation of a PCIOL. Ultrasound biomicroscopy was performed 3 to 6 months postoperatively, to determine PCIOL centration, IOL distance to the iris at 12, 3, 6, and 9 hours, and...

PURPOSE To report the results of sutureless scleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) by using our developed simple technique. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 48 eyes of 47 patients who underwent sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation by using our modified technique. A 25-gauge microvitreoretinal knife was used to perform sclerotomies and create l...
