| Popis: | Purpose To report the 1-year outcomes of a novel surgical technique for the fixation of a CZ70BD intraocular lens with Gore-Tex suture using cow-hitch knots. Methods A retrospective chart review of 15 patients (13 men and 2 women) who underwent fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens with Gore-Tex suture was performed. Short- and long-term outcomes data were collected 1 month and 1 year after surgery, respectively. Results Fourteen of the 15 patients met inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Mean visual acuity improved significantly from Snellen 20/491 preoperatively to Snellen 20/59 at postoperative month 12 (P = 0.002). The most common short-term complications included increased intraocular pressure (n = 6) and cystoid macular edema (n = 4). The most common long-term complications included increased intraocular pressure (n = 2) and iris capture of the intraocular lens (n = 2). Conclusions One-year outcome data suggest that this technique is a reasonable surgical option for secondary intraocular lens placement in patients who lack capsular support. |
