Abstract
Background
To present the follow-up outcomes of a modified technique of transscleral suture fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) in eyes with inadequate capsule support.
Methods
A retrospective chart review of 21 patients underwent transscleral suture fixation of a foldable 3-looped haptics one-piece PCIOL implantation through scleral pockets was conducted. Preoperative data and follow-up data for at least 3 months were collected for all patients.
Results
The mean operative duration was 36.62 ± 10.70 min. The mean pre- and post-operative LogMAR uncorrected distance visual acuity was (1.25 ± 0.50 vs. 0.41 ± 0.22, P < 0.01). The mean pre- and post-operative LogMAR best corrected visual acuity was (0.48 ± 0.25 vs. 0.33 ± 0.24, P < 0.01). The mean proportion of postoperative endothelial cell loss was 11.46 ± 4.78%. The mean postoperative anterior chamber depth was 3.05 ± 0.44 mm. The mean postoperative IOL tilt degree was 2.81 ± 1.41°, and the mean postoperative IOL decentration degree was 0.31 ± 0.13 mm. Four patients with transient corneal edema (19.0%) and three patients with transiently elevated IOP (14.3%) were observed after operation, and such complications were resolved within 1 week. No severe complications were observed.
Conclusions
The modified technique was a feasible method of PCIOL implantation.
