“…It is true that they were all retired, but many of them were devoted to agriculture and returned in less than a week to their heavy life habits without complications. We found a substantial stationarity of visual performance even in the controls, carried out every six months [11][12][13] (Table 2).…”

The population of the island has lived for centuries almost isolated from the rest of the continental population. In the seventh century BC, it was the first Greek colony in the southern Italy and was colonized by the Eubei, then it was the turn of the Roman rule. In the Middle Ages, the island was the victim of many raids of the Barbary pirates. Only in the last decades of the 800, did the island begin to open to tourism. However, it had a strong setback with the terrible earthquake of Casamicciola, in 1883. Tourism had gradually resumed in the second post-war period. These episodes have contributed to bringing people extraneous to the autochthonous community to the island. As in most of the coastal populations of the Mediterranean basin, there is a very high incidence of pseudoexfoliation lentis in the population of Ischia, which is a syndrome that often complicates in a challenging way the surgical intervention for the removal of cataracts.

“…With adjunctive devices such as capsule hooks, anchors, tension rings, and ring segments, many of these cases can be completed with good anatomic results and visual acuities. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] However, the high level of difficulty in these cases may lead to intraoperative and postoperative complications such as crystalline lens dislocation, intraocular lens (IOL) decentration, and vitreous loss with consequential cystoid macular edema, uveitis, and retinal detachment. 6,9 Although small degrees of zonular weakness and small lens subluxations can be easily addressed with advanced surgical techniques, generally the greater the amount of lens subluxation, the more challenging and potentially disastrous the case may become.…”

Primary anterior chamber intraocular lens for the treatment of severe crystalline lens subluxation

Subluxated cataractous and clear lenses are commonly treated by limbal or pars plana lensectomy followed by primary or secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Adjunctive capsular prosthetic devices have facilitated lens removal and IOL centration in these challenging cases but have also added complexity and potential complications to the procedure. Although crystalline lens extraction may be required to clear the visual axis in mild to moderate lens subluxations, we propose insertion of a primary anterior chamber IOL without lens extraction in severe subluxations when the eye is optically aphakic or can be made functionally aphakic following neodymium:YAG laser zonulysis. Two cases demonstrating this approach are presented.
