Scleral fixation ofsulcus intraocular lenses is performed by most surgeons to correct aphakia in eyes with insufficient capsular support in which intraocular lenses cannot be implanted into the bag or sulcus. The implantation of foldable lenses maintains the advantages of small incision surgery, working with a closed system, less astigmatism, faster wound healing, and early visual rehabilitation. The authors describe a technique for using a single-piece hydrophilic foldable acrylic lens with no eyelets for scleral fixation.
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.
