27-gauge trocar-assisted sutureless intraocular lens fixation

Abstract Backgrounds However there have been numerous investigations of intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation techniques, is room for improvement in terms simplifying complicated techniques and reducing the high levels skill required. This study aimed to report a novel technique sutureless IOL using retinal forceps with 27-gauge trocar. Methods Nineteen eyes 18 patients underwent from July 2018 September 2019 were enrolled this study. A trocar formed 3-mm scleral tunnels positioned at 4 10 o’clock, 2 mm corneal limbus. We used 3-piece haptic grasped by pulled The was fixed making flange. Main outcome measures visual acuity, endothelial cell density, tilt, decentration, predicted error refraction complications. Results 19 followed up 1 month. mean pre- postoperative logMAR uncorrected acuity (UCVA) 1.06 ± 0.63 0.40 0.26, respectively ( p < 0.01), while best corrected (BCVA) 0.27 0.51 0.06 0.15, = 0.09). density 2406 625 2004 759 cells/mm month 0.13). tilt 3.52 3.00°, decentration 0.39 mm.
