Abstract
- We performed trans scleral fixation techniques for implantation of posterior chamber lens in 25 eyes, in case of incomplete zonular or capsular support. This was done by securing both haptics of the posterior chamber lens to the sclera at the ciliary sulcus with 10-Onylon suture. Postoperative follow-up time ranged from 12 to 23 months, with all patients having at least one year of follow up. At the last follow up visit, 16 eyes (72%) had a vision of 20/50 or better, and 13 eyes (52%) had a vision of 20/30 or better. The transscleral fixation related complications included retinal detatchment, glaucoma and cystoid macular edema. During the relatively longterm follow up period, we did not find any serious complications due to the intraocular lens and there was no significant postoperative changes in the visual acuities.
