Clinical observation of 25G vitrectomy and phacoemulsification combined with intrascleral fixated IOL implantation for treatment of complete lens luxation / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

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.
