We found satisfactory and not significantly different outcomes for BCVA 6 months after surgery in the 2 groups. Both operation methods seemed safe, with low frequencies of serious perioperative and postoperative complications. However, some of the observed differences in complications should be taken into consideration when selecting the most suitable method in clinical practice.
The frequency of late in-the-bag dislocation of posterior chamber IOLs in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome increased during the observation period. Our study suggests that surgical repair should not be delayed beyond 1 month and that scleral suturing is preferable to exchange surgery, because of less intraoperative complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
