Surgical technique for repositioning subluxated previously scleral-fixated intraocular lenses - 25/08/11
Résumé |
Purpose |
To describe a repositioning technique of a subluxated scleral-fixated rigid intraocular lens (IOL) with haptic holes in eyes with complete or anterior vitrectomy.
Design |
Interventional case series.
Methods |
Using a two-port pars plana vitrectomy, a 10-0 polypropylene suture with the free end fixated to a haptic hole cut from another artificial IOL is passed through a paracentesis, then through the hole of the haptic luxated in the vitreous cavity. It is then reanchored at the sclera, repositioning the IOL.
Results |
In the two eyes, visual acuity was restored to pre-subluxation levels. During 6-month follow-up, anatomic and functional results were stable, and there were no complications.
Conclusions |
This technique enables repositioning of a subluxated, previously sutured rigid IOL without externalization of the lens or haptics and with good results.
