ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To compare the clinical outcomes of scleral fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens in vitrectomized eyes according to IOL types.METHODS:
Clinical outcomes of 28 eyes of 28 patients who underwent scleral fixated posterior chamber IOL after pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy were evaluated according to the IOL type used 19 eyes with PMMA lens (group 1) and 9 with Acrysof(R) foldable lens (group 2)RESULTS:
Postoperative BCVA improved or was stabilized in 7 eyes (36.8%) of group 1, and 7 eyes (77.7%) of group 2 (P=0.04). Mean postoperative change in astigmatism was 1.19 +/- 0.79 diopter in group 1 and 0.62 +/- 0.47 diopter in group 2 (P=0.25). Estimated refractive error was -0.76 +/- 0.26 and -0.74 +/- 0.24 diopter in groups 1 and 2, respectively, and postoperative refractive error was -1.31 +/- 1.27 and -1.23 +/- 1.34 diopter, respectively. This showed a slight myopic shift in both groups. There were postoperative complications such as hyphema in 4 eyes (26.3%) in group 1 and in 1 eye (11.1%) in group 2, and transiently increased IOP in 5 eyes (26.3%) and in 1 eye (11.1%), respectively. The other complications that were found in group 1 were glaucoma, retinal detachment, choroidal detachment, and cystoid macular edema.CONCLUSIONS:
Scleral fixation using foldable IOL is thought to be a relevant method in vitrectomized eyes, as it showed less postoperative astigmatism change and complications, and better visual outcome.
