| Popis: | PURPOSE To present the 1-year results of a surgical technique for the sutureless intrascleral fixation of a 3-piece intraocular lens using a 30-gauge needle. METHODS A retrospective chart review of a consecutive series of 9 eyes of 8 patients who underwent sutureless intrascleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens using a 30-gauge needle was performed. Patients were required to have at least 1 year of follow-up to be included in the analysis. Short-term data were collected 1 month after surgery, and long-term data were collected 1 year after surgery. Data collected included visual acuity, lens stability, intraocular pressure, and the development of complications. RESULTS Visual acuity improved from Snellen 20/309 preoperatively to Snellen 20/27 at postoperative Month 12 (P = 0.03). Short-term complications included increased intraocular pressure (n = 4) and corneal edema (n = 2). Long-term complications included exposed superior haptic (n = 1) and recurrent anterior chamber inflammation (n = 1). CONCLUSION The novel surgical technique for sutureless intrascleral fixation of a 3-piece intraocular lens is well tolerated 1 year after surgery. |
