ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
In this study, we evaluated the visual results and complication rates of the novel technique of sutureless scleral fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) surgery in patients without capsular support.METHODS:
In this retrospective study, patients who did not have adequate capsular support and who underwent sutureless SFIOL between 2013 and 2017 at the University of Health Science Dr. Lütfi Kirdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital's Eye Clinic were included. Preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), perioperative and postoperative complications, surgical indications, previous surgeries, and surgical procedures were evaluated.RESULTS:
The study included 131 eyes of 162 patients who underwent sutureless SFIOL surgery. Thirty-one patients were excluded from the study because of missing data. The mean age of the patients was 61.5 ± 23.2 years, 72 of whom were female, and the mean follow-up period was 24.3 ± 11.4 months. When all the patients were evaluated together, the preoperative mean BCVA was 1.11 ± 1.01, 0.86 ± 0.76 in the first month, 0.71 ± 0.69 in the third month, and 0.60 ± 0.50 in the second year after surgery according to logMAR.CONCLUSION:
The 2-year results of our study demonstrate that the haptic hook technique for sutureless SFIOL surgery is effective and safe in aphakia rehabilitation. However, haptic hooks and their associated future complications must be monitored for a longer period of time to reach a definite conclusion.Palavras-chave
