RESUMO
PURPOSE: A certain number of conditions can result in compromised anterior and/or posterior capsular integrity. Several surgical options have been employed for repositioning dislocated intraocular lenses in the absence of adequate capsular support. The purpose of this study is to assess the functional outcomes and complication profile of a modified surgical technique for replacing dislocated intraocular lenses. MATERIAL AND METHODS: All patients who had undergone the modified surgical procedure for dislocated intraocular lenses between 2012 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed for visual outcomes and complications. Patient demographic characteristics, pre- and postoperative visual acuity, surgical indications, refractive outcomes, intraocular pressure and postoperative complications were recorded and analysed at baseline and at six months, which was the conclusion of the study. We also present our modified surgical technique. RESULTS: Sixty-eight eyes of sixty-eight patients (74% male) were included. Mean age at surgery was 58 years (range 4-89 years). Mean best-corrected visual acuity increased significantly from 0.80 (SD±0.2) LogMar to 0.40 (SD±0.1) LogMar (P<0.005). Median astigmatic error at the conclusion of follow-up remained stable. There were no intraoperative complications and a low postoperative complication rate (10.2%), mainly related to the surgical context. CONCLUSION: Sutureless intrascleral fixation of dislocated intraocular lenses is an option in case of deficient capsular support. Visual outcomes and complication rates are comparable to other case series.

Congenital abnormalities of the optic disc are not uncommon in clinical practice and should be recognized. Size abnormalities of the optic disc include optic disc aplasia, hypoplasia, megalopapilla, and optic disc cupping in prematurity. Among congenital excavations of the optic disc head, morning glory disc anomaly and optic disc pit can be complicated by serous retinal detachment; the papillorenal disc is an association of bilateral optic disc cupping and renal hypoplasia which should be ruled out; optic disc coloboma is caused by an abnormal closure of the embryonic fissure and can be complicated by choroidal neovascularization and retinal detachment. Other abnormalities that will be discussed are congenital tilted disc syndrome, duplicity of the optic disc head, congenital pigmentation of the optic disc head and myelinated retinal nerve fibers. All of these abnormalities can be associated with syndromes and neurological diseases, as well as other potentially blinding ophthalmological defects which can be secondarily complicated by amblyopia, strabismus and nystagmus. Thus, they should be recognized in order to plan for appropriate follow-up.
