Choices in Correction of Aphakia during Vitrectomy

Abstract: Phacoemulsification with an intraocular lens implant is a safe and effective means of correction of visual loss from cataract. The high frequency of this procedure world wide means inevitable direct surgical complications will be numerous even though infrequent. The approach to correcting aphakia following complicated cataract surery is dependent on multiple factors including the degree to which the capsular bag is intact and the type of intraocular lens that has been inserted. We discuss several approaches an… Show more

“…There are limited number of clinical trials comparing AC-IOL with scleral-fixated IOL, but the results show no significant superiority of one design over other, and therefore the choice of lens and method of fixation is still open to personal preference, availability and the individual surgeon's skill set. 12 In our study, 40% in group early vitrectomy had vision 0.5 or better, 50% in group moderate vitrectomy had vision 0.5 or better, and 33% in group late vitrectomy had vision 0.5 or better. Over all we have 42% patients had visual acuity 0.5 or better.…”

“…Secondary IOL implantation is widely used in the management of IOL dislocation, and various surgical techniques have been employed including anterior chamber IOL, iris fixation IOL, and sutured scleral fixation (SF) of posterior chamber IOL [5][6][7][8][9]. Of these approaches, transscleral fixation, with 10-0 polypropylene sutures, displays an advantage over the other techniques, with a decreased incidence of corneal endothelial cell loss, iritis, secondary glaucoma, and cystoid macular edema being reported [10][11][12].…”

“…1,2 The gold standard method has yet to be defined, and usually the decision depends on the pre-operatory status of the eye, IOL availability, and individual surgeon's personal preference and skills. 3 At present, little is known in the Western world about practice patterns in the surgical management of aphakia or correction of in-the-bag dislocation of the IOL. In a comprehensive prospective project studying the latter situation, repositioning of the present IOL or exchange to a retropupillary iris-claw IOL (RICI) implantation were compared.…”
