Retina 2024; 44:1015-1020. [PMID: 38295391 DOI: 10.1097/iae.0000000000004058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To report the long-term clinical outcomes of transscleral four-point fixation of Akreos intraocular lens using a closed continuous-loop suture technique. METHODS This was a retrospective, multicenter, interventional case series. Primary outcome measures were best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, corneal endothelial cell density, and complications with a minimum of 1-year follow-up. RESULTS One hundred and ninety-two eyes of 177 patients from two surgical hospital sites were identified. The mean best-corrected visual acuity improved from 0.88 ± 0.74 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (Snellen 20/152) preoperatively to 0.42 ± 0.52 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (Snellen 20/53) postoperatively ( P < 0.001). The mean preoperative intraocular pressure was 17.51 ± 8.67 mmHg, and the mean postoperative intraocular pressure at final follow-up was 15.08 ± 4.18 mmHg ( P = 0.001). The mean corneal endothelial cell density significantly reduced from 2,259 ± 729 cells/mm 2 to 2077 ± 659 cells/mm 2 , representing a cell loss of 5.73% ( P < 0.001). The intraocular lens was fixed well during follow-up. There were no intraoperative complications noted. Postoperative complications included transient ocular hypertension in 15 eyes (7.81%), hypotony in two eyes (1.04%), retinal detachment in one eye (0.52%), and macular edema in one eye (0.52%). CONCLUSION The transscleral four-point fixation Akreos intraocular lens using the closed continuous-loop suture technique was effective and safe with satisfactory visual acuity with a minimum of 1-year follow-up.

[PMID: 35982505 PMCID: PMC10659248 DOI: 10.1097/iae.0000000000003601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 07/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To report the results of a novel surgical four-point transscleral suture fixation of intraocular lens (IOL) with four hollow haptics using the double-suture technique. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 15 eyes of 15 patients who underwent 4-point transscleral suture fixation of a foldable IOL using the double-suture technique. Preoperative data and follow-up data for at least 4 months were collected for all patients. RESULTS The IOLs were fixed and centered well. The mean preoperative corrected distance visual acuity was 0.70 ± 0.54 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (Snellen 20/102), and it improved to 0.29 ± 0.26 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (Snellen 20/39) at the final follow-up ( P = 0.001). No vitreous hemorrhage, hypotony, suture breakage, retinal detachment, IOL dislocation, and iris capture was detected during the follow-up period in any of the patients. CONCLUSION We have developed a novel technique for 4-point transscleral suture fixation of IOL using the double-suture technique with 9-0 polypropylene suture. This technique seemed to be safe and it may not require the surgeon to learn any new technique.

Scleral-Sutured Intraocular Lens Dislocations Secondary to Eyelet Fractures. Am J Ophthalmol 2021; 221:273-278.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report clinical features and visual outcomes following eyelet fractures of scleral-sutured enVista MX60 (Bausch + Lomb) intraocular lenses (IOL). DESIGN Retrospective, multi-center, multi-surgeon, observational case series. METHODS Study Population: Patients with scleral-sutured enVista MX60 IOLs that experienced either an intraoperative or post-operative eyelet fracture associated with dislocation or subluxation. PROCEDURES All records were reviewed for patients with a dislocated or subluxed scleral-sutured enVista MX60 IOL. Clinical features and outcomes were gathered. Main Outcome Measures: Clinical setting, surgical technique, complications, and visual acuity. RESULTS A total of 25 scleral-sutured enVista MX60 IOLs displacements secondary to eyelet fractures in 23 eyes of 23 patients were included. There were 20 IOLs that sustained a postoperative fracture and 5 IOLs that sustained an intraoperative fracture. Of the postoperative fractures, 7 were dislocated and 13 were subluxed. Gore-Tex was the suture of choice for 19 of the postoperative fractures and all 5 of the intraoperative fractures, and Prolene was used for 1 postoperative fracture. The mean time until postoperative fracture was 96 ± 125 days, and the median time was 61 (IQR 48-144) days. Of the postoperative fractures, new MX60s were sutured in 10 patients, and 2 of them experienced repeat displacements due to a new eyelet fracture. In the intraoperative fracture group, new MX60s were sutured in 4 patients and an Akreos AO60 lens was placed in the 5th patient. The mean preoperative best-corrected logMAR visual acuity for all patients improved from 1.2 ± 0.8 (20/317 Snellen equivalent) to 0.5 ± 0.5 (20/63 Snellen equivalent) at most recent follow-up after lens replacement. CONCLUSIONS Scleral-sutured MX60 intraocular lenses can experience intraoperative or postoperative eyelet fractures, resulting in lens subluxation or dislocation. Surgeons should be aware of this complication when evaluating secondary intraocular lens options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To report cases with intraocular lens (IOL) opacification following silicone oil (SO) endotamponade. PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical charts of 32 eyes with IOL opacification were evaluated retrospectively. All eyes had rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and had a history of previous hydrophilic acrylic IOL implantation. All patients underwent vitrectomy with SO endotamponade. Clinical features of all cases and the results of histochemical evaluation of explanted IOLs were reported. RESULTS The mean duration of SO endotamponade was 4.6 ± 2.0 months. The mean follow-up was 67.0 ± 23.5 months. The interval between phacoemulsification surgery and IOL opacification was 27.4 ± 18.3 months. With the exception of two eyes, all IOL opacification was detected during the follow-up period after SO removal. IOL exchange was performed in 12 eyes (37.5%). Histochemical analysis revealed significant calcification mostly on the surface of explanted IOL optics. CONCLUSION Vitreoretinal surgeons should be aware of that some hydrophilic IOLs may have the potential of opacification following SO endotamponade.

Abstract
We report localized opacification of a sclera-fixated Akreos® hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens after successful repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with silicone oil tamponade in a nondiabetic patient. No intraoperative lens opacification during air-fluid exchange or lens dislocation was encountered. Granular opacities within the optic were noted at 5 months after surgery, and did not relent to scrubbing with a vitrector during oil removal. Akreos lens opacification under silicone oil is not well documented in the literature. Surgeons must be aware of this potential complication, which is known to occur with various types of hydrophilic acrylic lenses after exposure to air or gas.
