چکیده

A 5-year-old boy with severe ectopia lentis had bilateral lensectomy and suture fixation of a foldable acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) through a 3.0 mm clear corneal incision. Sodium hyaluronate (Healon GV) enhanced stability of the crystalline lens during aspiration and maintenance of the anterior chamber during passage of the needles through the ciliary sulcus. The haptic design of the single-piece AcrySof (Alcon) IOL permitted secure fixation of the suture to the haptic. The patient experienced rapid visual rehabilitation, achieving an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 in both eyes.

Suture Fixation Technique for a Single-piece Foldable Closed-loop Intraocular Lens

PURPOSE We describe a suture fixation technique for a single-piece foldable acrylic closed-loop intraocular lens (IOL) (C-flex, Rayner). METHODS In our experimental model analyzing the stability of acrylic haptics, we confirmed that the IOL could be in counterpoise without tilt using only a two-point fixation. This new surgical technique was performed in seven patients. RESULTS The unique h...

A new technique for treating posttraumatic aniridia with aphakia: first results of haptic fixation of a foldable intraocular lens on a foldable and custom-tailored iris prosthesis.

We describe a new surgical technique for treating traumatic aniridia with aphakia and its results in a small consecutive case series. We attached a 3-piece acrylic intraocular lens through the haptics to a customized silicone iris prosthesis. The combined implant was inserted through a 5-mm incision and fixated with a transscleral suture in the ciliary sulcus using a knotless technique (Z sutur...

Bilateral Implantation of Scleral-Fixated Cionni Endocapsular Rings and Toric Intraocular Lenses in a Pediatric Patient with Marfan's Syndrome

The management of ectopia lentis in Marfan's syndrome is challenging. Multiple disease-associated factors conspire to deprive these patients of adequate vision. While optical correction with glasses and contact lenses is usually advocated early on, the irregular astigmatism and even partial aphakia that accompanies advanced cases generally warrant surgical intervention. Several surgical strateg...

Ectopic lens extraction in children.

Ectopia lentis continues to be a therapeutic challenge for ophthalmologists. It can occur as an isolated condition, after ocular trauma, in association with other ocular disorders, as part of a systemic mesodermal disease or as a complication of general metabolic disorders. Minimal subluxation of the lens may cause no visual symptoms, but in more advanced cases serious optical disturbances aris...
