Anterior chamber iris-fixated intraocular lens placement in vitreoretinal surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
METHODS: The medical records of patients undergoing iris-fixated ACIOL implantation and subsequent RD repair over the three-year period from 2008 to 2011 were reviewed. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), manifest refraction spherical equivalent and axial length of these patients prior to their refractive surgery was noted. The time between IOL placement and presentation with RD was recorded. The fundal findings at presentation with RD were documented. The outcome of vitreoretinal (VR) surgery for RD repair and BCVA following this was recorded.

Lens implant selection with absence of capsular support.
If contact lens or spectacle correction is not viable, little debate exists that the secondary placement of an intra-ocular lens (IOL) is the method of choice in the absence of capsular support. The choice of IOL mainly depends on the preoperative status of the eye (eg, aphakia in children) and the selected location for the implant. Theoretically, there are several IOL implantation approaches i...

متن کاملIris-fixated phakic intraocular lens implantation for correction of high myopia in microspherophakia.
We report the refractive correction of high myopia in a 23-year-old patient with idiopathic microspherophakia using iris-fixated phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs) (Verisyse/Artisan). Four years after bilateral implantation, the uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20/25 with a correction of 20/20(-1) in both eyes. No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred. Iris-fixated pIOLs a...

Early elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) following pars plana vitrectomy is a common complication of vitreoretinal surgery and severe pressure elevation may result in visual loss. To investigate the mechanism of IOP elevation following pars plana vitrectomy, a retrospective review of 119 patients (132 eyes) who had undergone vitreoretinal surgery was performed. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) w...

JULY 2014 CATARACT & REFRACTIVE SURGERY TODAY 55 M any techniques have been described for correcting aphakia with inadequate capsular support. The most common IOLs that are used include anterior chamber, posterior chamber, iris-fixated, and scleral-sutured IOLs; however, there is no current agreement on the ideal technique or technology. The Artisan aphakia lens (Ophtec; marketed as the Verisys...
