ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To evaluate efficacy, safety and complications of 25G vitrectomy, phacoemulsification combined with intrascleral fixated intraocular lens(IOL)implantation for treatment of lens luxation.<p>METHODS: Totally 20 patients(20 eyes)with complete lens luxation and the hardness of lens nucleus was grade 3 or above who underwent 25G vitrectomy, phacoemulsification combined with intrascleral fixated IOL implantation between May 2018 and December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, the count of corneal endothelium cell, central corneal thickness and complications were observed. <p>RESULTS: The uncorrected visual acuity and best corrected visual acuity after operation were improved than those before treatment(<i>P</i><0.05). The number of corneal endothelial cells in the central part of cornea after operation was lower than that before operation(<i>P</i> >0.05). There was no significant difference in central corneal thickness 2wk after operation compared with that before operation(<i>P</i> >0.05). There were 3 cases of low intraocular pressure and 2 cases of high intraocular pressure, but they all returned to normal at the end of follow-up. The IOL were all centered and there were no obvious eccentricity and inclination. No other complications such as vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment occurred.<p>CONCLUSION: 25G vitrectomy, phacoemulsification combined with intrascleral fixated IOL implantation is a fast, safe and simple method for the treatment of complete lens luxation.
ABSTRACT
We describe a technique to manage late spontaneous intraocular lens (IOL) and capsular tension ring (CTR) dislocation within the intact capsular bag. The subluxated IOL and CTR complex can be positioned in a closed chamber and fi xed to the pars plana at both 3 and 9 o’clock quadrants with the presented ab externo direct scleral suturation technique which provides an easy, safe and eff ective surgical option for such cases.
ABSTRACT
The study was conducted on 20 patients with bilateral lens luxation (40 eyes) and 30 patients with lateral lens luxation (30 eyes), total 70 eyes. All patients were under 25 years old. The results showed that using the vitrectomy Erbe device in lens luxation removal is application of advanced achievements in our condition. It allows achieving the best surgical outcome for lens luxation, giving facilities for inserting artificial lens in later and contributing to regaining the vision of patients. This technique can be applied in facilities where the vitrectomy devices are available for all patients with lens luxation who have indication of operation
