Popis: Purpose To present the 1-year follow-up of a novel surgical technique that allows for suture fixation of a posteriorly dislocated lens-bag complex without the need for conjunctival incision. Methods A retrospective chart review of 19 patients who underwent posterior chamber intraocular lens rescue using the novel surgical technique was performed. Data were collected 1 year after surgery for all patients. Results Average preoperative vision was 20/500, whereas 3 months and 12 months postoperatively, the vision was 20/65 and 20/54, respectively. Three of 15 eyes had decentration of the sutured intraocular lens, 2 of which required additional surgical repair. Conclusion Outcome data at 1 year support this novel technique as a viable option for the surgical repair of a dislocated lens-capsular bag complex.
