ABSTRACT
AIM: To observe the clinical efficacy of 8-0 polypropylene scleral-sutured fixed intraocular lens(IOL)suspension implantation with the double knots technique in aphakic eyes.METHODS: Retrospective case series study. The data of 30 aphakic cases(31 eyes, 22 males)that underwent IOL suspension in our hospital from January 2021 to November 2022 were collected. The suspension of IOL(AcrySof IQ or Tecnis ZCB00)was performed by 8-0 polypropylene scleral-sutured with the double knots technique. The visual acuity, intraocular pressure(IOP), IOL position and complications with at least 6 mo of follow-up were observed.RESULTS: The mean preoperative uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA, LogMAR)and best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA, LogMAR)were 2.53±0.78 and 0.35±0.26, respectively, which were 0.58±0.26 and 0.36±0.27 at 6 mo postoperatively, respectively. And the differences in UCVA were statistically significant(t=15.408, P<0.01), whereas the difference in BCVA was not(t=-1.677, P=0.104). There were no intraoperative complications, with IOL position all centered, but 3 eyes had IOL tilt, 2 eyes had intraocular hypertension, 5 eyes had corneal edema, and 1 eye had suture exposure postoperatively. There were no complications such as hyphema, vitreous hemorrhage, macular edema, corneal endothelial decompensation, hypotony, choroidal detachment, retinal detachment, fulminant superior choroidal hemorrhage, endophthalmitis, or others.CONCLUSION: The 8-0 polypropylene scleral-sutured fixed intraocular lens suspension implantation with the double knots technique can improve the postoperative visual acuity of aphakic patients, and fewer complications, which is an option for the treatment of aphakia, dislocation of the lens and ligament abnormalities.
ABSTRACT
@# AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of modified folding intraocular lens(IOL)suspension surgery in treatment of traumatic dislocation of lens surgery technique.METHODS: Prospective randomized controlled study. A total of 15 patients underwent the modified folding IOL suspension surgery. Among them, 9 patients chose Akreos AO IOL, and polypropylene sutures were used to thread the haptics of IOL. After guided to puncture out through the sclera, the ends of sutures were thermal expanded and fixed in the sclera. And 6 patients chose Tecnis ZA9003 IOL and no sutures were used. After guided the haptics to puncture out through the sclera, the ends of haptics were thermal expanded and fixed in the sclera. The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA, LogMAR)of all patients and postoperative complication were observed. RESULTS: This study included 15 patients, among them, 7 were male and 8 were female, the mean age was 64.00±9.85 years old, the mean course of diseases was 5.80±3.17 wk. There were no significant differences between the demographic and baseline clinical characteristics. After underwent the modified folding IOL suspension surgery, visual acuity of all patients were obviously improved. After 3mo of the surgery, the BCVA(LogMAR)of patients were improved from 1.28±0.56 to 0.52±0.30. More specifically, the BCVA(LogMAR)of patients who chose Akreos AO IOL were improved from 1.39±0.62 to 0.59±0.25, and those who chose Tecnis ZA9003 IOL of the BCVA(LogMAR)were improved from 1.12±0.45 to 0.42±0.35. Furthermore, there was no severe postoperative complication observed in our study. Only one patient suffered IOL dislocation and the IOL optical surface was mild oblique.CONCLUSION: Modified folding IOL suspension surgery technique resulted in good visual and outcomes with no severe complication, making it an effective option for IOL suspension surgery.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To observe the efficacy and safety of modified four-point fixed intraocular lens suspension implantation in aphakic eyes.METHODS:A prospective study. A total of 32 aphakic patients(32 eyes)with an average age of(44.56±8.48)years who underwent modified four-point fixed intraocular lens suspension implantation in our hospital from October 2020 to May 2021 were selected. Uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), corneal astigmatism, intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed before and after operation.RESULTS:The mean follow-up of all patients was(4.84±0.64)mo. The preoperative UCVA(LogMAR)was 1.25±0.42 and the last follow-up was 0.5±0.25(P<0.001). The preoperative BCVA(LogMAR)was 0.41±0.19 and the last follow-up was 0.42±0.19,(P >0.05). The preoperative corneal astigmatism was(1.17±0.64)D and the last follow-up was(1.20±0.59)D(P>0.05). There were no intraoperative complications, but 2 eyes had low intraocular pressure, 1 eye had high intraocular pressure and 2 eyes had corneal edema occurred after operation. There were no complications of hyphema, vitreous hemorrhage, macular cystoid edema, corneal endothelial decompensation, inclination or eccentricity of intraocular lens and exposure of suture.CONCLUSION:The modified four-point fixed intraocular lens suspension implantation can significantly improve the postoperative visual acuity of aphakic patients without additional corneal astigmatism,and with fewer complications.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the clinical effect of cataract combined lens dislocation greater than 2 quadrants` patients after having phase I intracapsular cataract extraction and anterior vitrectomy,postoperative corrected vision greater than 0.3,and then taking phase II small incision suture-fixation of intraocular lens suspension.METHODS: Totally 34 cases with cataract combined lens dislocation greater than 2 quadrants had been treated in our hospital from July 2014 to December 2016.We investigated their 1wk,1 and 3mo postoperative complications and the uncorrected visual acuity,best corrected visual acuity,intraocular pressure,corneal astigmatism who took phase II small incision suture-fixation of intraocular lens suspension with corrected vision greater than 0.3 after having phase I intracapsular cataract extraction and anterior vitrectomy.RESULTS: Along with the recovery time extension,patients` uncorrected visual acuity and best corrected visual acuity increased obviously than preoperative in each phase.On the 3mo postoperatively,the best corrected visual acuity of 1 eyes was between 0.3 and 0.1,8 eyes was between 0.5 and 0.3,16 eyes was between 0.7 and 0.5,and 9 eyes was better than 0.7.The best corrected visual acuity was achieved or near the best corrected visual acuity before surgery.Intraocular pressure rechecked became in the normal range at 1wk,1 and 3mo postoperative.Surgery did not significantly increase the corneal astigmatism.CONCLUSION: It is a safe and effective way in improving eyesight effectively,with stable intraocular pressure and fewer complications towards cataract combined lens dislocation greater than 2 quadrants` patients having phase I intracapsular cataract extraction and anterior vitrectomy,whose postoperative corrected vision greater than 0.3,and then phase II small incision suture-fixation of intraocular lens suspension.
