Scleral pockets for an innovative technique of intrascleral fixation of intraocular lens

Abstract: The aim of this article is to report the results of an innovative technique for a scleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens using our new modified technique. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 15 eyes of 15 patients who underwent sutureless intrascleral intraocular lens fixation using our modified technique. We used a 23-gauge knife to perform sclerotomy and create two parallel scleral pockets for the haptics. The mean follow-up period was 3 years (3 ± 1). No complications were d… Show more

“…Of all the 625 severe OGIs, 53 eyes (8.5%) underwent intraocular lens (IOL) related surgery at last. Thirty-seven eyes underwent IOL implant and 16 eyes underwent sclera suture or intrascleral fixation ( 3 ).…”

“…The anterior segment should also be carefully examined for any retained nuclear fragment, which may later lead to inflammation and require surgical removal. 10 In our case, we proceeded within toto crystalline lens extraction combined with scleral perforation repair using 6-0 vicryl and the eye was left aphakic.…”

“…For an accommodating IOL that changes its shape, the capsule bag should remain as elastic as possible after surgery, avoiding fibrotization. Capsular contraction and myopia may also lead to IOL subluxation requiring innovative solutions for repair [ 25 ]. Our study on low-diopter IOLs elucidates the relationship of PCO and myopia.…”
