Sutureless 27-Gauge Needle–Guided Intrascleral Intraocular Lens Implantation with Lamellar Scleral Dissection – Corrected Proof
Purpose: To report a new technique for performing sutureless intrascleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL).Design: Prospective, noncomparative, interventional case series on the results of sutureless intrascleral fixation of a posterior chamber IOL.Participants: Thirty-five eyes of 34 consecutive patients with aphakia, dislocated IOL, or subluxated crystalline lens who underwent posterior chamber sutureless implantation of an IOL were studied.Methods: The haptics of the IOL were externalized with a 27-gauge needle passed through the ciliary sulcus using the double needle technique. The haptics were fixed in a scleral tunnel made by lamellar scleral dissection. The postoperative tilt of the IOL (Read more...)
