The “correct shake” for “handshake” in glued intrascleral fixation of intraocular lens
نویسندگان
چکیده
We hereby describe the correct method to perform a "handshake technique" and easy transfer of haptics from one hand to another for glued intrascleral fixation of an intraocular lens (glued IOL). The procedure was implemented in 57 cases that necessitated the application of performing a glued IOL procedure and it resulted in an appropriate and easy externalization of haptic in all the cases. The surgeons' positioning with reference to the scleral flap is an essential component and the surgeon should always be positioned perpendicular to the plane of scleral flaps and the plane of haptic maneuver. The surgeons who intend to perform glued IOL should adopt this technical point.

Exposure of haptic of posterior chamber intraocular lens after sutureless intrascleral fixation
BACKGROUND A technique of sutureless intrascleral fixation of an intraocular lens (IOL) in an eye that lacks a posterior capsular support has been reported. The advantage of this technique was that the suture-related complications did not develop. However, the long-term complications of a sutureless IOL implantation have not been reported. CASE PRESENTATION A 75-years-old man had a sutureless...

METHODS We included seven eyes in which sutureless intrascleral posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) fixation was performed. Pre- and post-surgical best-corrected visual acuity (LogMAR) and refraction changes were analyzed. There was a one year follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS Sutureless intrascleral posterior chamber intraocular lens fixation is, in our experience, a safe technique that all...
متن کاملNeedle-guided intrascleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens for aphakia correction.
We present a technique for the surgical correction of aphakia that allows intrascleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) without sutures. The technique is useful in situations in which one haptic has to be fixated and capsule support is adequate for fixation of the second haptic. The haptic is externalized with a 25-gauge needle; no surgical instrumentation other than that ...

In this case series, we assessed a new technique, the intrascleral pocket procedure of transscleral fixation (TF) of the intraocular lens (IOL) in post-vitrectomized eyes. We performed the transscleral fixation of IOL in four aphakic patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy. Two points 180° apart were marked at the limbus. A 2-mm-sized intrascleral pocket was created by lamellar dissection ...

The capsule of the crystalline lens, if sufficiently present, is used as a support tissue for intraocular lens (IOL) implantation surgery performed on vitrectomized eyes. Eye trauma or iatrogenic damage during complicated cataract surgery, loss of position and zonule connections of the crystalline lens, and IOL via dislocation may cause loss of support tissue for lens capsule implantation prior...
