چکیده

PURPOSE To compare the long-term efficacy of a secondarily implanted flexible angle supported anterior chamber (AC) intraocular lens (IOL) with sclerally fixated IOL as a secondary procedure in patients with aphakia. METHODS Sixty patients with aphakia were recruited for this study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group I patients underwent secondary implantation with AC IOL (Kelman Z type multiflex Domi classic AC IOL) and Group II patients underwent secondary implantation with scleral fixated IOL (Hanita lens with two eyelets). Postoperatively, the patients were followed up at 1 week, monthly for 6 months, and at twice yearly intervals for 5 years (mean follow-up was 3 years). RESULTS Best-corrected visual acuity of 6/18 or better was achieved in 36.6% (11/30) of patients in Group I and 30% (9/30) of patients in Group II after a mean follow-up of 3 years. The complication rate was higher in Group II as compared to Group I. The authors encountered a total of 23 complications in the sclerally fixated group and 11 in the AC IOL group (p=0.004). Uveitis and ciliary tenderness were the most common complications in Groups I and II, respectively. CONCLUSIONS For secondary implantation of IOL in aphakic patients, Kelman Z type multiflex Domi classic AC IOL is a better rehabilitation modality as compared to the scleral fixated Hanita IOL.

Scleral Fixation of Dislocated Intraocular Lenses by Haptic Externalization through a Clear Corneal Incision

Several techniques have been employed for repositioning dislocated intraocular lenses (IOLs). Herein, we describe a simplified and modified technique in which scleral fixation is performed together with temporary externalization of IOL haptics through a small, superior clear corneal incision. The sutures are tied to the externalized haptics; the haptics are then repositioned into the anterior c...

Visual outcomes of posterior chamber intraocular lens intrascleral fixation in the setting of postoperative and posttraumatic aphakia

BACKGROUND Several techniques for fixation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) have been developed. We evaluate long-term functional outcomes and safety of posterior chamber IOL implantation using Hoffman scleral haptic fixation and sutureless Sharioth technique in patients with posttraumatic and postoperative aphakia. METHODS This retrospective case-series included 42 eyes operat...

    Background & Aim: Several methods have been reported for refixation of dislocated intraocular lenses (IOLs). However, these methods are associated with some disadvantages including vitreous prolaps, vitreous traction, ocular collapse, intraocular hemorrhage, high astigmatism, and the need for complex intraocular maneuvers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of transscleral fi...
