Abstract
- We reviewed medical records of 24 eyes which had undergone transscleral suture fixation of PC IOL after removal of clear or cataractous lens combined with pars plana vitrectomy from May 1992 to December 1996. The follow u[ [eropds fpr tjos seroes ramged frp, 54 to 772 days(mean 253 days). The visual acuity of 21 eyes (87.5%) was improved and that of 1 eyes(4.2%) was not changed. Postoperative complications, such as IOL precipitates(9 eyes), anterior chamber fibrin exudation (2 eyes), elevation of intraocular pressure(2 eyes)intraocular bleeding(2 eyes), corneal edema (1 eye), tilting of IOL(1 eye), decentration of IOL(1 eye), and retinal detachment(1 eye), were developed. Based on these results, transscleral suture fixation of PC IOL may be a good operative technique in aphakic eyes undergone pars plana vitrectomy and removal of lens.
