Comparison of Surgical Outcomes between Conventional Sutured Scleral Fixation and Flanged Intrascleral Intraocular Lens Fixation

Purpose: We compared the surgical outcomes and complications of conventional, sutured scleral fixation flanged intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation.Methods: retrospectively analyzed medical records patients who underwent or IOL were then observed for more than 6 months. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), operation time, spherical equivalent (SEQ), astigmatism, postoperative recorded up to months after surgery.Results: Of sixty-nine enrolled eyes, 39 (“sutured” group) 30 (“sutureless” group). time was significantly shorter in sutureless group (56.3 ± 11.8 vs. 77.7 17.9 minutes, <i>p</i> < 0.001). In both groups, BCVA SEQ improved at all visits surgery baseline values 0.05). There no between-group difference BCVA, SEQ, complications.Conclusions: Compared fixation, afforded improvements but with a duration. Therefore, is useful alternative fixation.
